I had a Buff Orp Rooster that was very active, but became too agressive towards my 5year old grandson. I was able to place in another home with more hens. I am told he is very happy there.
Shortly after he left the Buff Orp hen went broody and claimed all eggs in the coop. We let her set on 11 eggs. We noticed them starting to dissappear, and discovered a nearby snake. She was down to three eggs. Which all three hatched out! Only two survived.
At the time the hens we had were - 2 Silver Laced Wyandotte, Buff Orp, and a RIR
Here are the photos of them, they hatched out 23 Aug 10.
