Thanks! That’s Eko, my sweet boy. He is actually a paint.Oh, @LadiesAndJane, I adore the splash silkie in your profile!
(If I still had the Silkie rooster that passed away a few years ago, I would have probably bred him to my Banty Cochins.)
So far Houlihan isn't broody. She's a pretty reliable layer. A little messy. She has dropped more than a couple in the run. I'm new to chicken keeping, but the only broody bird I have experience with so far i
I hope my cream legbar goes broody eventually. She's one of my favorite hens. She won't sit in the nest box to lay an egg unless we either give her an egg to sit on or our hand to sit on.
(Oops, I give him my apologies....Thanks! That’s Eko, my sweet boy. He is actually a paint.
Considering hatching some of Hanabi’s eggs, but currently she will have nothing to do with him!

Picky picky! My sister and I have a super broody Maran, her name is Mizuki's Mum!(Since we believe that is Mizuki's (another mixed hen) mother!)I hope my cream legbar goes broody eventually. She's one of my favorite hens. She won't sit in the nest box to lay an egg unless we either give her an egg to sit on or our hand to sit on.
Oh my, "our hand to sit on"?!!I hope my cream legbar goes broody eventually. She's one of my favorite hens. She won't sit in the nest box to lay an egg unless we either give her an egg to sit on or our hand to sit on.
I had one other Maran (could be the same one) who raised a couple of ducklings for us years ago.Picky picky! My sister and I have a super broody Maran, her name is Mizuki's Mum!(Since we believe that is Mizuki's (another mixed hen) mother!)
She has been brooding for what feels like forever, and there is no sign of her quitting....
I can't tell who she takes after, she looks so different from her parents.
and I’m old enough to know where her name came from!
