Quick shout out to @Audio51 and @PetRock ! Tonight I used your suggestions ...got nesting material from her nest put in some of the eggs then brought the rest and Miss Norma is settled in like a champ In the broody box. Thank you both so much for your help. I also candled the 8 egg under her 7 CA Grey cross,,,black sex links.. and I think 1 Dorking cross could be a SL depends on the daddy...anyway all are kicking vigorously. Day 17 and all of the eggs under booth broodies are still good to go!!!

I hope that they all hatch for you!

Now this would be a wall of nesting boxes for someone who is seriously into chickens!

Adorable, I just love my showgirls.

This is Priscilla, a paint hen.

I have never been one for Turkens or Showgirls but Priscilla is PRECIOUS.!!!!!!!!

Another broody drama question...So my two original girls are both on day 18. The 3rd girl (interloper and coat tail rider) has been making a pest of herself by getting into nests with the other two. Now that I have moved one of them, there is a nest for her so I hope she stops that.

I have eggs for her but I am starting to wonder if it would be best for coop harmony to give her chicks about the same age as the ones from this hatch will be. I would prefer not to and to just give her the Del eggs I have saved. am I over thinking again?

Thanks in advance

Does anyone know this seller? Are they on BYC? I am thinking about buying Marans chicks instead of eggs. I only have 4 out of 12 FBCM eggs going into lock down today and a couple of those are iffy.

Sadly, they would likely still use only one of them!

That would work for a lot of chickens.
