Don't let that expression fool you, deep down Brownie loves it.

Just got home from a all day dr appointment with grandma. As soon as I drink this cup of coffee going to go sneak out and check to see what Goose is up to. Sneak is the key word here. Mom does not know what I am planning. I literally made it 1 day shy of Chiquita's eggs hatching last summer before she noticed she was broody. I think I can top that this year.

New Coop

Well it happened. I had to build a new coop to accommodate the new peeps that will be arriving for Easter. My granddaughter Eve and my daughter were here to help me with it this weekend.

I'm tempted to say that right there is one broody momma I would never reach under. Who am I kidding, I would. I risk bodily harm every time I reach under Momma Hen when she is broody, that owl has nothing on her.

I just love the hooting mixed in with the broody noises!

She is not in her nest, but there are now 5 eggs. Actually there was 6 eggs, one of her friends is deciding to help her along. I marked the 5th egg and removed the imposter egg. If she is going to hatch I do not want to wonder "Who is your mother". I also stated I would give her 4, now there is 5. This girl needs to hurry up and sit before I break over and let her sit on a dozen.

I picked Hector out of a straight run at the feed store....looking for a roo. All I had to go on was stance, but he kept standing and looking around with the chest up and out. I think we stood there and watched the chicks for a good 20 min. The brahmas and the susses were all supposed to be pullets, and we watched them for a bit too (if I'd seen roo stances with any of those, I probably would NOT have gotten Hector, but that chick instead. The ones listed as pullets all looked/moved like pullets.View attachment 3410577@2-2.5 weeks

We has so much fun doing it. She placed all of the decorative pieces. It is all her design.

Happy mugs Monday from Bubba. He snuck up behind me yesterday while I was videoing and bit my finger. I was wearing the coat I always stuff treats in the pockets, yesterday I had none. How dare I come out to socialize and not have goodies stashed away. His frostbite is also completely healed up.
