My mother kept trying to give DH some of Dad's clothes. Uh huh! No way. I couldn't handle THAT. All of his clothing went to the Salvation Army.

My dear friend lost her mom in 1990....she kept a blazer that belonged to mom. Every once in awhile, she wears it. We all find our own way...

Every hen here has gone broody for many years now

Most of my girls are non-broody breeds and so far have held true to that, which I’m thankful for. Even though I would loooove bunches on top of bunches of chicks, I can’t let myself have that. When it comes to anything that falls under “being my responsibility,” I become a control freak and everything has to be just so so. That is one of my downfalls. Luckily as I age I am mellowing just a bit, but the OCD is still there. I have realized the 37 birds I have right now are my upper limit...as far as keepers. However, I am not ruling out hatching some and selling them, as layers and excess cockerels.

Part of that is because they go into a trance and are not fully aware of what you are doing.

I had read that broodies do go into a trance-like state when setting and I did notice that about my broody. She was very determined not to leave the eggs at all, and I was even more determined that I was going to remove her once each day. I suppose part of the stubbornness I witnessed was partly her trance as well.

I put Barb in the built-in brooder in my coop. It has a run on it too.

Your Blue Wheaten, Birchen looks like mine.
View attachment 2010188View attachment 2010190His name is Blue, & he's a OEGB/Pheonix cross.

If he was a blue wheaten birchen (whatever one of those is) you might have a point.
He is what some people describe as a mutt. I don't have any specific breeds here except one Marans hen.
I have some lovely chickens here though.

Just took a loaf of banana bread out of the oven - Kerry gold Irish butter -

Neutered banana bread of course. It will go good with the morning coffee. (If any is left.)

Can't beat Irish butter.
