Damascus

I love the damascus look, but I do like the way the other is so old looking. ps. paracord is a nice touch.

Having three hens go broody at the same time in a building with only 2 nests and over 5 additional layers in the building can cause huge problems.
When the first one went broody, I marked the 9 eggs under her. Then it all went south. I couldn't keep up.
I kept pulling all the eggs they couldn't cover, put them in the incubator and when the chicks in the nests started to hatch and they left to care for the chicks I moved the remaining eggs, almost 2 dozen to the incubator.
I've been having chicks hatch in the hatcher since the setting hen's eggs hatched. They have about 10 chicks.
I'm still having chicks hatch every day in the hatcher. I moved 4 out yesterday and another new hatchling this morning.

Group broodies = trouble. My group didn’t end up hatching any. Not for their lack of trying. I didn’t monitor them as the nest wasn’t easy to reach, and eggs were being moved constantly.
