Good morning folks 

Really Mother Nature?  For me? A broody!  You shouldn’t have … No, seriously, you shouldn’t have!!

Yep, just 5 weeks and 17 eggs after the last bout with broodiness, KiKi is once again broody    And here I was hoping that was it for this year .. stoopid summer! lol


Fizzybelle Bea and Agnes are beautiful!

MyHaven how about Miss Prissy for your new girl?

PS.  I forgot to mention ... my good little girls allowed me to sleep in until 10 to 6 and even then they did not wake me up.

Yes my Fraidy has succumbed and is clucky too. My first thought was why now - I have week olds in the brooder. My second thought was hmmm I wonder what eggs I could put under her?

Crappy ph pics but these are 2 of my cuckoo prject araucanas. A crele and a cuckoo. And one of my new trio of aplash laced gold wyandottes.

I particularly like your new one. Stunning.

I would also like to see a couple of your turkey pics.

You know looking is the first step, you might as well just accept it and give in to temptation now

Aren't these sweet?

Probably, not looking.

Hey all, just though I'd share some photos of my babies. They turned 20 weeks on Saturday and I think could have started laying as we had a couple small eggs yesterday (including one broken one I caught pepper trying to eat (hope that didn't give her the idea to start breaking them herself)

Tonio

And Blackie

And no photoshop involved, they really are that green even in the shade

Thanks Satay! I posted the question in the D'uccle thread, and got another vote for quail Watching her grow and change is going to be exciting

Question about broodies, as I've never actually had one, but am anticipating it with Agnes ( given the reputation of Silkies) and Esme (my Pekin who should start laying in a month or two). So is summer the season they go broody, or just warm weather basically? I'm guessing if that's the case they calm down over winter then? Just so I know when to potentially expect it. Thanks.

Loving the colour

Appps, those are some STUNNING girls! You must be so proud!

Satay, I saw that post too late unfortunately! There's a very large devil on my shoulder already poking me to get more Belgians.
