Yes, I should do that, but to be honest - I'm a coward! - When I get home from work it's late, and the coop is far from the house, there's critters out there (yotes, cougar and big foot!

). By the time I get up the next day, they've already been laying again

And since I moved those 3 girls, an SF girl has flopped down there on top of a few eggs! I think I'm fighting a losing battle, being broody seems like a contagious disease right now

Funny, mine never go broody!

I have had them, but not this year so far except 2 mixed girls...same with eggs, we finally have something resembling warm weather now everyone is laying copious amounts of eggs except my Mahoganies. BUT, since i trimmed Black bottoms....there IS signs of fertility in the latest Black Fav. eggs in the bator. crossing fingers.

My favs are just a year old now and so far no broody symptoms. I don't plan on hatching this year so that if fine with me.

BTW..... If you really have big foot, you need a night vision camera & I want to see the footage!

i am in the market for some show quality salmon's! i have been reading up on this breed and fall more and more in love with each tid bit of info. I live in texas and know someone that is producing blue salmons! i think they would go great in my flock and allow me to start a show line (obviously not with the blues, but salmons). keep up the chats and hope to be joining in soon!!

I didn't think I'd be lucky enough to have a good quality fav go broody. She's almost a year old and she's the darkest colored pullet I have. Boy, she's ate up with it too, doesn't hardly even move! She's a big girl, able to cover a nice clutch.... I'll have to get a handful of her eggs and shove them under the next hen that gets the urge! I think it's a good trait for heritage birds to be a little broody.

LOL

I don't want to know if it's out there! Could you imagine checking the game cam and finding that

How do you start a new thread or comment or something like that?

 

[Sahwithchicks]

Ok, I would love some comments.
These chicks are the same age. The first picture is of a chick I assumed was a cockerel. The 2nd picture is OBVIOUSLY a cockerel. He is the only chick that looks like that.
Is picture 1 still a cockerel? Or did I end up with a ton of pullets weee) or are the rest of the cockerels (3 that look like picture 1) just growing in different than picture 2? Why such a HUGE difference?


Oh, hah! Guess actually posting the pictures would help!
