Well the broody bug has almost hit my flock. I have several hens now plucking their breasts and growling. None are sticking to the nests yet.



I might put some more eggs in the bator so that I can stuff some babies under hens later this month I hope to fill a few more egg orders too, but I am getting tired of shipping eggs.

A nice picture of my favorite blue hen's lacing

Took some fun pictures today, I hope you guys get the smile out of them that I did.







Clementine was telling me she wants to start a rooster taming business

Super cute!

Quote: Nope, not fake. She just ended up with really fancy lacing

I hope you didn't think I was saying it was fake, just so perfect it looks fake!

In fact, that shot would look good as a print on a wall.

LOL, I kind of want to stop shipping eggs and just let the hens go broody. I need a break already! It's a pain keeping up with everyone's orders etc. I love to let the hens raise my replacement breeders too. The broody raised chicks are better adjusted and seem to grow better than my brooder raised chicks

Trisha

they are SO beautiful!!

so here's a future-reference question -- my two new Amelias are in their little "transit lounge" pen, in view of the rest of the flock but also in quarantine -- but once it's time to introduce everyone, i've never done this with a rooster present. will Max be able to protect the new girls from too much hazing from the existing flock, or are they still in for a rough time? (or something in between those two poles?)

thanks!!

That is good for me. I am setting some eggs and won't be ready for a little while anyway. I don't need a pile, just maybe 6 or so. What do you get when you hatch out the Red Star eggs? Ray the wonder roo! Ha Ha!!! That is funny. I have limited space so I don't want to hatch out a pile and then try to find homes or freezers for them all. I just want enough to hopefully get one or two hens out of the hatch.

Cool I have no idea what Ray and on of my RS girls ( Vivian and Boom Booom) will produce but I hope to let you know in about 23 days...setting eggs on friday I for sure will post pics here and you can tell me then if you want some of that action

We will be in touch. I am happy to think my flock can contribute to yours

When I have integrated its always a gamble. If you have a good rooster he won't allow the girls to fight much - but he will mount your new girls and they might be inclined to put up a fuss. Pecking order must be established - and that is always noisy. It usually settles down in a couple of days though. I like to put them together at night after the quarantine is over - sometimes talking to each other all night makes for less trauma.... then again - sometimes not.
