@ChicoryBlue
Has decided on not bringing in new chicks this year, and notes that her buckeyes are not broody inclined. But, she's still interested in getting info on a breeder who has Marek's vaccinated chicks
@featherhead007 worries for his rooster Jaffar. A suggestion is made of trying to incubate chicks from him, but he is uncertain Jaffar is ever successful in "doing the deed" !
@fuentemoon :
posted a great picture of her hens on an adventure. Luckily the road is very quiet

@GregnLety: had a rollercoaster week, with the loss of Big boy Goldie's roo, while she is getting better, a baby turkey breaking a wing and a puppy getting parvo.
@knoturavggrl :
-After some hesitations has set eggs under broody Marans alpha hen Brownie, with a nice original set-up : a tent in the coop.

-Henny Penny, though she has not adopted them, spends time with those littles.
The chicks and her may be housed together soon in the summer quarters, maybe with the co-broodies.
-However, Kelly informs us today that she found herself in a situation where she had to re-home the ten chicks. She will keep only the three from her own flock.

@ValarieF :
Posted a great cocorico video!
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-26787455
To conclude and by the way, I am thrilled to see that cocorico has become FBA's trademark expression, but I would like to remind all your roos that it is a noun, and not a verb. Le coq fait cocorico !
