Chicken "mutt" club!!!

[what did I do]

@ what did I do & Shellz 
Ya it sucks!  I was so looking forward to watching her raise her babies, instead of me for a change!   She went to the nest box tonight instead of roosting , so I have some work to do to get her back to normal.   Had some say to get her some day old chicks and give them to her as her own, but I REALLY wanted some Araucana/Wyandottes so I am going to wait and try again next time.   Hopefully she will be back and ready in a few months...if not I will wait until next year OR buy an incubator!

I'm the same way, I wanted my hen to raise some chicks so I didn't have to. I have some older chicks, too old for her. Tomorrow is supposed to be hatch day for her. She is still sitting so we shall see. I'd love to get chicks or at least 2 chicks for her but there isn't any place near here where I could get chicks. I hope one chick hatches for her.

Good Luck! I hope you get some babies!

i got these chicks 2 weeks ago can sumone identify this lil baby is it mutt or what breed

Those look like Red Sex Links, which is what the feed store calls "Rhode Island Reds". They aren't really a "Mutt" because its a cross used for production brown egg layers - but they aren't a breed either. They can be really good layers - and can be friendly too. They are cute!

YES! LOL I love the baby pictures! I'll be setting eggs on the 14th so I can get a hatch on or around May 5th. All mutts of course ;] I guess I will do LF instead of bantam.
