If you were in the easter hatch-a-long you need to post results by midnight tonight. I had 12. My last two hatched today. i had my parents pick up 15 sultan egg while they were visiting my brother....not a single one hatched. I thought since they were not shipped I would have good results...I guess not.

Welcome to all the newbies I missed that last few days!! You will enjoy the company here!

Cool "contraption" Mikey

Iris is doing well so far. Her incision looks good. No swelling or redness. Her skin is back to her lavender color. She was ravenous this morning and I let her outside for a while and she was all over the back yard. What a change from a few days ago. But she still needs to stay in the house till at least Monday to heal properly.

I thought my GLW Gretchen was preparing to go broody the last 2 weeks and last night I found her in the nest box. I took her out and put her on the roost. This morning she was back in the same nest box. She was out when I got home tonight and she ate and ran the yard for a couple minutes and back to the box she went to sit on her plastic easter eggs.

She went broody last summer and that lasted forever. This time DH said that we can get her some babies or let her hatch some eggs. I marked the calendar that May 1st would make 21 days. Anyone out there going to have chicks/eggs hatch around that time that I can purchase? Please pm me what breed chicks or eggs available. Would like her to be a mama at least once. Thanks.



Getting ready to tuck this one under. She has 3 now.

mama hen- you should get some eggs for sure. It would be fun a experience for you. It is so awesome seeing them hatch.

I agree!! Who has eggs???? Am going to give her a week to make sure she is serious about sitting on the nest.
