I think they sit strong when they here peeping.
I agree. When my hen was broody, she was out on like day 19 foraging for a WHILE.
I wanted to grab her and shake some sense into her like "DON'T YOU KNOW ITS LOCKDOWN??!!" lol
but they know what they're doing

with all the rain we had plus the rain last night around the Empordanesa coop was full of mud. I decided to put down some pea gravel
under and around it.
hopefully the like it. I think so far so good.





A larger coop is in the works
 
well now this is new: a PURPLE-colored egg today, and absolutely no idea who might have laid it -- coming from a pen with marans, silver-pencilled rocks, and amelias. best guess is that one of the older marans is just finally getting started laying again (after a long winter hiatus), and her color is off -- but truly mystified!

Wow...that is quite a rainbow you have there! Now I want purple eggs!!!!!

I put the eggs under my aunt's broody hen the afternoon of the last Tuesday in January (the 25th) Conservatively that makes this Tuesday day 21 and today Day 19. I have the two Bantam eggs here in the incubator in my house and left the LF eggs under the broody. I went down today expecting to see her pancaked on those eggs but instead she was out scratching and have a constitutional. Should I be worried about the 3 remaining eggs she has or is day 18 more of a guideline for those hatching with an incubator than it is for a broody???

Were the eggs cold? Mine get up to eat and drink but then go back.

That pea gravel looks to be doing a great job! I love it. Is it alright for them to peck at? Idk what is in it?
