Well tell her to knock it off and get back to laying pretty eggs. (Just kidding)

Nooo! This is my first EVER broody!

I moved her last night into a dog crate and I've already ordered some eggs specifically for her to brood. I'm hoping so much that she doesn't decide to leave the nest.

I'm SO excited about the possibility of have a momma hen and chicks!

Congrats Jeremy! I hope you have better luck with yours that I had with mine. I had a first time broody lavender Ameraucana that I seperated out and gave her some eggs (of course they were eggs I REALLY REALLY wanted to have hatch) and she pooed all over them and none of them hatched.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!

hi all, can someone tell me who has the best egg color on their whites and blacks, are are getting better, but I would like to give them a little boost next year, I know the wheaton and blue wheatons are real good and I would like to get mine to that point some day

Did I ever tell anyone, I love broodies?

She hatched out all 8! (This after she went off the nest for a long time in 45 degree weather last week)

Can someone please help me

I'm trying to upload a picture of my new chicks that hatched a week ago and I can't figure out how to do it. I have looked at the instructions but I'm not doing something right.

We had a poweroutage for a couple hours and the temp dropped to 85* and it's day 14

oh well, I think all will be fine and will just have to see before lockdown. I also have a broody Ameraucana that's been on eggs for about a week now and a Cinnamon Queen that went broody....go figure!!!! I put some guinea and Ameraucana eggs under her.

I also wonder if anyone has dealt with Custom Incubators out of Marlow, OK. I ordered an incubator from them and didn't receive it and called and they said they had received it back (got dropped) and would mail another one out.......STILL WAITING!!!!

I am really excited!

If it can be done, I want to try and select hens known to want to brood and using them especially in my line of birds. I feel like it's a trait that is definitely worth breeding towards and obviously it's much cheaper than having to buy a Brinsea...

I think you need to upload them first, then add the photos to the post, also there is a post on how to do it. I host my photos on our website and just link the photo here using the IMG button above the smilies. HTH
