I wish mine would go broody someplace where I could collect the eggs. My birds start laying under the deck when they about to go broody. And I am not about to crawl under there to fish them out.


Edited to add that I have nightmares about piles of rotten unhatched eggs exploding under the deck... Yuck!

I HAVE THE SAME NIGHTMARES TOO!

So, I have a little bantam hen that I call broodie chicken. Her sister is bad chicken. I noticed she was missing about 15 days ago. About 10 days when I was giving the flock their daily treats she came flying from the scrub area. They are both so small they can squat down and squeeze under the gate. My husband fixed that yesterday. So the little bigger would wait till I got tired of watching her stroll around. Taunting me like nothing to see here! Only to vanish again. Yesterday I fooled her and hid around the corner. There she went under the gate acrossed the driveway to the first bush. Low and behold there she was growling at me guarding her 6 eggs. I waited till dusk and fetched them. Two of the eggs hatched last early this morning!

@cactusrota That little blue one in there looks like my 2 blue ones that hatched from the green egg laying girl after they hatched.

Ya, I wing sexed that blue one as a boy. There's a few others that are showing some blue, and a couple of them are girls. Lots of different colors, one little black girl with a black comb, and red one with no bow tie at all.

Well, I don't need another Blue boy because I am keeping one of my 2 Blues and I believe him to be a boy. I like his straight comb coming in.

OK I have a rant and I wanted to rant on my fave chicken forum bc fellow chicken lovers would probably feel the same.

So I'm watching a YouTube video of someone bringing home adult chickens. They grab at their tail and pull to try to capture them. They put several in boxes and pile those boxes in the back of a van the very back and drive 200 miles where they found 6 of them had died during transport... ummm no wonder you stressed them out piled them in with hardly any air no food, water,

And to me what's worse is they are popular, passing themselves off as experts or something and showing others how to do things the wrong way

I mean, we all know they are great animals, they need to be treated kindly, they can learn their names, and communicate through body language, I taught mine some signs they always know when treat time is, they recognize sounds etc...

I mean isn't it always the case those who can't teach?
