broody hens and more! I swear I pushed post last night?

So here I go again as I swear I pushed enter yesterday... but can't seem to find it...

The broodies now sitting on 7 standard mutt eggs because they went broody BEFORE I put in a roo for them.

:

The new lucky roo that get's to care for the two broodies after they finish with the chicks:

And the even luckier boy who get's a whole dozen girls to him self!

That all the ladies gossip about.

Now if someone can find me that post where I put these first, I'd really like to know where it went!

What a nice looking bunch you have there!

Awww - but those silkies - they almost don't look real!

 

[silkiechicken]

The silkies do have a tendency to just stand there...or sit there when broody... Hope these two make good parents! And I hope the big guy was doing his job because his girl's eggs are under them...

You have lovely fingernails. (Last pic)

What kinda roo is that in the 3rd pic? He's very handsome!

Thanks. My nails are actually really short right now. Normally I like to have them around the 1/4-3/8 inch length beyond the finger tips. Kind of hard to do when digging around in the dirt though!

The rooster is a good ol mutt. His dad was a blue cochin and his mom was a blue laced red wyandotte. A real nice guy.
