EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[kwhites634]

One of mine will stay upside down whenever I move her to collect eggs. She's inside that granite rock and I flip her upside down to get eggs

Screw a hinge to her butt so you can flip her back

Ooooohhhhh.... I'm totally trying that - it's hot enough here that I could justify it.

"You looked like you were a little hot, sweetheart. Just looking out for you..." (As the velociraptor sound effects carry throughout the neighborhood.)

They look a bit shocked when it's in the 50s, but it ain't gonna kill them.

The exposure to the sudden cold might make their eggs shrivel up

I might if they don't stop. No one else is laying.

She acts like I'm supposed to.

Maybe that's why I'm getting so many bantam eggs.

Going to bed. Sure hope I don't dream about upside down chickens or attack roosters.

Well, I hope you have them lo-jacked with an ankle bracelet or something. Heaven knows what they're up to when you're not looking...

Umm protecting the flock.

Night, don't let the roosters bite. I can sure think of a lot of things to dream about that are worse than hinged chickens, eh.

I just had a broody hatch one, one.... Better than none I guess but was hoping for more fm naked necks, the 'one' looks to be a pure naked neck from the other hen. Ohh well maybe next time. Good mom though, she chases the teenagers away like a rooster, they stay well away from her and chick, was worried they'd be mean to chick, don't have a chance Lol!
Jersey giant/Silkie mom

'Teenagers' hiding from her lol!
