My beautiful girl Silver went also broody today, I didn't even realize she had a nest. But look where she was nesting...



Oh Silly Silver, That looks so uncomfortable! I made her a new nesting box and careful shifted her and her eggs.

We have silkies hatching. One of them kept running out of the box and sitting in my hand like I was a long lost friend, bet it's a roo. :/
will get more pics when they are finished hatching.

Very cute and fluffy! That goes for the chicks as well

Can't quite make out where she had made her nest? Certainly looks awkward :cd

Her eggs where in a wooden pallet in my fathers shed, she was too big to actually sit in there. I hadn't noticed any eggs in there because it was full of hay.

When I saw her I actually thought she was dead!

@Pugg haha what the?! Thats certainly a strange one! Silly thing. She sure is a sweetie

@locknest4 thank u! Im sure ill be adding more gorgeous pics tomoro! My MIL is here looking after the kids so ill try and get her to snap some when theyre all out scratching tomorrow. Apparently they were roaming around pecking bits off the ground like the little sweethearts that they are

Hi guys haven't been back on since the chicks hatched, I've been a bit low the past couple weeks then was sick on Thursday night, my depression saw an opportunity and came to kick it up a notch, stupid cow that it is. More anger than "poor sad me" stuff, but it's exhausting just the same.

Chicks are doing awesome, I couldn't stand padmas desperation so I let her in yesterday and both mummas have been looking after the chicks, though I think Padma is still a little in egg mode as I found her up in the nest box away from everyone today. Maybe she just needed a break, I sure could use one, even my baby girl is wearing on my patience :/ the boys... Well let's just say I'm pretty ****** about the student free day for qld schools today, enough whinging, I came to check if @RodneyRooster had chicks yet!! Well well!?? It's so hard to just sit back and wait isn't it lol. Doesn't matter what my girls think there'll be no more chicks till next spring here.
