    Broody momma calling it quits

    thank you very much. This momma started laying 2 days ago. the first night was in the broody coop.

Babies eventually figured out how to get up and when they tried sitting under momma, there was quite the fuss with the hens pecking at all of them. after 3 babies got pushed off the roost, momma finally got...

    Broody momma calling it quits

    MPC has a hatch day special which would be anything, straight run, that they had "extra's" of that day. It's always a surprise and I haven't yet posted picks to see what it could be. I need to get some to do just that so I can stop calling it "hatch lol

    Broody momma calling it quits

    I have 2 broodys, 1 with 2 chicks and 1 with 4. They are 4 1/2 weeks old. They each had their own coop, inside the run with the big coop. 2 days ago I finally put them all out with the rest of the flock. They were accepted and left alone. That night momma w/4 slept in her normal coop...
