Did I see you put some eggs under a broody? I haven't gotten any eggs from either one, but if I did would they be fertile?

 

[SilkiesForEver]

No, I didn't have them with any roosters for a LONG time.

My boys are still growing.

Ah, ok. If she lays and tries to go broody I will give her some EE eggs.. that should be cute!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who gives chickens interesting names. I nick-named one of my hens "Walter" for a while.... yes, a hen. 

In your signature, there's the part with "This weeks chicks", surely that doesn't mean each week is a new batch of chicks... right? 

Yes. I hatch a small or large batch of babies and sell them to the local people who want some. Other times I take them to the feed store. There is also a nice old woman who takes in my birds that don't sell. She thinks they are so beautiful and let's them live out their life on her property.
The chicks I have now are not for sale as they are my first batch of Rheinlanders. The call ducklings are a replacement flock for my adults. It is very hard, but I love either waking up to find hatching Babies or coming home to a bunch of peepers.
