    Nugget's Chicks@ Two Days Old (PICS-NEW in Post #23)

    I'll be selling all of these except maybe one for Nugget to raise up till she gets sick of it, as they tend to do in a few weeks. I have a second broody, my blue Orp, Dusty, and I just finally moved her into the front storage area of the Delaware side in a dog kennel. I tried yesterday, but she...

    Quote: Yes, Jody. I have one blue BR/Ameraucana, which naturally will be a Barred Easter Egger. Can't wait till the feathers come in on that one. I think it's a cockerel, though, just going by the headspot, but being a cross, I could be wrong.

    Nugget seems very content now. She lets us handle the babies and they are all eating and drinking just fine. I set up a place for Dusty, my broody Blue Orp, in the storage area of the Delaware coop, but she is not sitting down. She's very upset being in a strange place, but either she'll sit or...

    I told my DH that I love broodies so much that I want to let my laying flock over time go down in size just so I have room for more broodies to do their thing. Dusty is still broody and I'm considering letting her have these eggs that are in the bator.

    Four Barred EE's and one Blue Orpington. She has also moved back onto her actual nest--she had rolled all the eggs off the nest just before they started pipping.
