2 broodies for Christmas!

I had begun to suspect it when they were in the nesting box all day yesterday and last night... this morning, it’s confirmed.

I guess that’s their own way to gift me this Christmas


I’ll pass on the offer.

No, he lasted about a few weeks. He was the best tasting turkey we ate.

I think she counts as beardless.

You're welcome.
I discovered adding broiler silkie genes to pet quality gives you a silkie that stays pretty meaty, that requires less protein then pet quality, & show birds need.
