I couldn't find a Christmas Hatch-Along to join so I'll just start one here!
If anyone is hatching around Christmas time feel free to join in, I do love pics!! Set date for chickens is about now!
My 9.5 year old Silkie went broody yesterday as I expected. She lays 12 eggs then goes broody like clockwork So today I'll set her eggs underneath her and hope they're fertile! Her name is 'Queen' Chickaletta. She is outlasting any chicken I've owned and still laying and still healthy as always nothing ever wrong with her, never been sick, nothing! She is picky with which roosters she likes so she may not have fertile eggs Biscuit my rooster is a good boy and dances around her but I haven't seen the deed done but maybe hopefully in secret! ..I will put some of Boofs eggs under Chickaletta too because I know they are fertile so at least she'll have some hatchlings if her's don't hatch.
It will be fun to see what colours pop out with the white hens and Biscuit. Never know what's hiding under a white!
