I have been thinking of this. Once the chicken palace is built, the coop that they're in now can be used for quarantine, and I can keep an eye on Craiglist for any broody hens. Not too long ago, someone was griping about their hen going broody again and saying if she didn't stop it, he was going to get rid of her, and I'm thinking Gimme the hen!

It would need to be a smaller breed, because I don't want them getting beaten up. At the chicken show, I saw a RIR about the same age, and she was quite a bit larger.

Sounds like you are shopping for a cute little Silky mom! But, these huge NN from @BlueBaby get beaten up by my Brown Leghorns. They are the low birds on the totem pole here. Even the younger Barred Hollands chase them. They are fine, they just run away and hide!

I've had some of my NN's go broody, so since you have your's from out of my flock don't be surprised if your's do.

I would not be surprised, that big Red Ranger cross stays in the nest a lot. I think she is a little young to be a broody, my Orpington went broody her second year.

My silkies were going broody even a few days after broody breaking!

You get a better view with an incubator, though! You can hear them chirping, and Dylan is talking back to them . . . Whistling and clucking.

There are tiny Button quail that people keep in the house in a fish tank.

After looking at silkies on line--that would work! The eggs are a different color, so it would be possible to tell them apart from leghorn eggs. I'm just wondering what the result would be if Big Ben decided to make a silkie one of his harem. That would result in one weird looking cross breed.

Wishing I had eggs hatching this weekend, too.

I just sent a message to a friend who makes signs, etc., asking about a sign saying The Chicken Palace.

I had no IDEA that they can swim
