Broody in Feb!!!??

[emjay]

We Have Babies !!!!!!!!

Don't Know How Many Yet, But, They Are Making Some Noise Under Mama. Can't Wait To See Them When Mama Lets Them Out To The Big Bright World.

So Excited.

Will Post Pics As Soon As I Get Them.

Well it's been a week. Have only 7 out of the 9 eggs left. Two were cracked so I took them out. Opened them and they were developing so I now know the rest are fertile. Only two more weeks and will have my first chicks hatched under a broody! Fingers crossed

I am going to do like some others and put a separation between the broody and the rest of the birds in the coop next week. Should not be too hard to do. Have some left over wire. I also have a dog gate I could use. Looking forward to having chicks without being the mom for once
