Nice too meet you - i am new to the thread love my broody hensHello Everyone!!I know I have been MIA for about a year now, but i am back and on BYC again. I had NO Idea how developed this thread has gotten! (check the first page) This is Awesome!!!
The crazy thing is my hens never stopped laying in the winter I have had awesome egg production and I have been so thankful.Don't we all just all love them! During these winter months my hens have slowed down in egg production to 0 eggs a day! There beginning to pick up on production so hopefully I will get a broody soon! It's been too long. So I was forced to set 41 eggs in the incubator this morning.
Yea I finally bought an egg turner this is my first time using it! Thats awesome!! What breeds do you have?
Yes the are great broody hens. I swear my Buffs and Australorps really don't move for days. I try not worry about them. Funny story one day my husband said I think the Buff on the nest was dead but the she blinked.. really excited about my broody hens. So sad I have a few that are not choosen as broody hens at the moment and I have to chase of the nest because I have customers I need to keep in eggs. lol
That is funny I have 10 and some days it does not seem like enough so working on a few more. One day I watched a Partridge ease herself behind on of my Buffs slowly until she was on the nest and the Buff was not. Just love to see how sneaky they can be
