I love seeing all the new faces and input on here! I have yet ANOTHER broodie starting in...this makes 10. I'm pretty sure that at least 6 aren't really determined, and I've moved them to a completely different location to shake things up, so we'll see. I'm heavy on fresh chicks right now, but don't want to keep them all, so putting them under broodies really isn't an option.

I've gone and done it...added another breed...such a sucker...I can't even count how many varieties this gives me now...16?17?

Did you see my wish list my DH is going to shoot me yet. I am still hoping some of my hens will go broody so I can get some local hatching eggs and see how they do hatching those plus a few of mine just to see the mix I get, I have a cochrin (sp) rooster over a mix of girls.

No problem, yeah I couldn't find your link as fast

I'm still looking... Thinking about hitting the swap meet here in town this weekend... If I run across some I'll definitely be letting you two know

No, I missed your wish list! You need a bantam Cochin hen to go broodie- they love being on eggs. Silkies are a bit smaller...and I think they're about equal on broodiness. You can fit a bit more under a Cochin.

Well then there is hope next year we got 3 Cochin bantams at tractor supply on April 3rd hoping they are girls. So I might get a broody hen yet.

Hey does anyone have any baby Mandarin or wood ducks, or fertile eggs? I would love to have some to add to my menagerie. Thanks
