Ralph I've got two RP doing the same.
Aurora,its exasperating. I'm starting to believe it's contagious. I've got two pure Leghorns doing the same!

All in all these two have been broody over 2 months now.They hatched two chicks last month. The chicks were outside the nestbox,the hens never budged. Took the chicks and put them in a brooder.

If you put them in an elevated cage with no bedding on a wire flor they will break broodiness. This is my new technique. I broke too in less than a week this way. I put them in the coop yesterday thinking they might go for the nests.

They looked at them and ran outside to find the rooster...BUT you know how females are when thay haven't had a "man" for a while... I felt sorry for the roosters.

I got perturbed at one of the hybrid Dark cornish yesterday. She attacks screaming and pecking when I take the eggs. Chunked her on the outside of the pen where there were 25 roosters waiting for a date. after 15 minutes I felt sorry for her and let her back in the pen. She immediately morphed from damsel in distress to killer pitbull.

It is, without a doubt, contagious! Last year, I had a PR hen go broody and raise a few chicks after watching Ana sit in the nest for a while. She was a surprisingly good mama. This year, it's the turkeys who are sharing hatching fever. Pebbles will be getting a few CCL cockerels to raise this weekend. I know from last year that she will sit until she almost starves herself so I'm not giving her a chance. Mary has been in and put of broodiness as well as Princess but as it keeps getting nicer out, I don't think they can stand being stuck in the nests lol. They keep leaving them to get out and enjoy the sun. Queenie was stubbornly broody but would not adopt chicks. She tried to kill them! I sold her and from what I heat, the move snapped her out of it. That only leaves Cuddles, Eve and Sweet Pea who haven't tried to brood yet.

Ralphie, Great interview. What types of fixed wing did you fly?

Finnie, Congrats on the grandbaby. I have 8 ranging from 1 to 19.

Wow, gone for a few days and 75 unread posts.

Thanks..

I have flown about anything. Most of my fixed wing time was in the old King Air B-90.

I flew a lot of short range organ harvest in that for the UoM in the late 70's and early 80's. When it became more common we moved in a Westwind. I bet you never heard of one of them.


Most of my corporate time in twins was in the King Air also, but the C model. I have a little and I mean little in a citation. Lots in a 421 or 441.

My favorite was the 206b model, even though the 206L was a nicer ride. When deadheading I would do nape of the earth and log it as practice.. Of course, I did have bosses that would ask f all that practice was really required. Once we got Altitude reporting transponders life was not as much fun.


I have no idea how many hours I have I stopped logging at around 6,000 hours, I decided it was a waste of time.

I thought there might be a possibility that we've crossed paths, but we were in different circles. I was a maintainer not a driver... Mostly F-4, A-10, and F-16--but had tickets for over 65 different air frames by the time I retired.

Ahh,, I would guess not...BTW I had a hard and fast rule in helicopters. (they have a lot of moving pieces, you know)...

When it comes out of annual, majors or 100 hours, and I take the test flight, the mechanic rides with me... I never wanted to be flying a streamlined aerodynamic crowbar alone.
