That's incredible. I'm going to read it now.
This was nice to read. I loved the video of him puffing. I'm sorry about most of the chicks.
Thanks, I have some more pairs that are trying to hatch a brood right now but the weather is way too hot here and there is 'little to none' moisture in the soil. Snowflake, Mexican Speckled and Tennessee Reds. They are just now beginning to start laying in earnest.
I had a pair of Bob's, that the hen died about a week before the eggs hatched. The cock bird took over incubating them and hatched them out, and brooded them, also!Aw.I wonder if a rooster could raise a brood of chicks
Aw. That's adorable.Oh my god
Maybe he’s not so dumb after all. He’s discovered that being soft and feminine means the girls are less annoyed by him
I heard cooing whilst I was cleaning the tank, I look over and he’s bloody squatting for my red breasted hen, trilling away. She starts grooming his face instead of telling him to get lost. The next day I see she’s accepting his advances
Ah, just like 2006, the good old days where guys being sensitive and wearing makeup dropped panties like nothing else.
Can you post a picture of him brooding?
I’ve taken the eggs now but I’ll see if I can catch him doing it again.
He’s a bit of a twit so I’m not surprised they went off without him, but I did find it sweet that he seemed consoled by sitting on the egg like it made him feel like he had a purpose lol
