Started moving broody hens to their hatching cages

Switched a grey hens eggs with some other breeds

Others

The last bay will be filled probably Saturday

Just a note: broody hens pluck their underside feathers to help Make her nest and to regulate heat. It's not an indication of a stressor

I did not realize. I can't believe how friendly they are.
They climb all over my legs and snuggle into me.. they start screaming when I leave.

Until they're old enough to free range and be with chickens. I guess about 3 months.. or less.

I am a real life turkey.
