Oh cluckcluckluke poor you! You are having a tough run. That you get one more as a hatch buddy for your lonely chick at least! 7 out of the 9 eggs that my broody abandoned have pipped so far. They are on hatch day today! Can't wait for the little ones to get out of their shells.

Oh TimBaumann how terrible :( Fingers crossed that the remaining eggs hatch. GET THOSE DIRTY GOOD FOR NOTHING RATS! Poor mumma hen. This morning I noticed that my broody hen was walking across the front lawn... with a CHICK following behind her. I was soo happy until I realised...... it has...

I lost the chick with the booties. It passed away yesterday. I wasn't surprised as it just didn't seem to be doing well. So now I have one lonesome chick! I was hoping to put my lonesome chick out with the broody who was due to hatch this week... but she quit on me!!!! ARGH! When I found her...

Oh cluckcluckluke that's not good.... but I think you have done the right thing by evicting the other hens and making them lay elsewhere! I lost 2 of my eggs... I originally put 6 under mine and she is down to 4. Since she has been locked up there has been no more egg thievery! My second...

they will be 70 modern game bantam eggs! All for my new incubator that holds 100! I'm pretty excited about it all. Will be my first year hatching a large number of chicks.

get yourself some Pekins! Notorious for going broody.... although my older pekin hasn't shown any interest in sitting on eggs. I was quite shocked when I went to pick up the bag! although I did know that they were going in there to lay on the odd occasion. Poor hen.... I can't imagine how...

I just found another broody hen! She was nesting in an old feed bag on the front deck area of my house. I hadn't even noticed her missing from the main coop (shame on me!) She is just a young pullet and I wasn't even sure if she way laying yet. I was sweeping the deck area and went to pick up...

well it looks like my cage has worked. No sign of any intruders! My cage is big enough for my hen to get up and have a strut around. She had made her nest under a bench that is in the corner of the coop (shed) so I just kind of closed it in with some wire scraps I had around the place! As long...

I love it over this way Luke - we just moved here 2 years ago and I couldn't imagine being anywhere else! No action in the incubator yet! Still waiting & watching like a mad woman! It is a home made incubator and I have had successful hatches in it before so I hope this one goes to plan. I did...

cluckcluck luke - I'm from South West Vic. When my broody hopped off her nest tonight I found another isa brown egg under her!!!! **** red heads! She only has 4 of the modern eggs under her which is a bit annoying! I always mark my eggs depending on which breeding pair they have come from (using...

I have set 6 eggs under my first ever broody! (Thankfully something finally went broody!!!) I popped them under her on the 20th of this month so they should be due on about the 10th of November. She hopped off the nest to feed the other day and I can't remember if there was 6 of the original...
