Thoughts... ?
Sooooo looks like Sophia is broody, she is back in the nest box and stealing eggs, I tried to take her eggs away but she gently tucked them back under her - I couldn't take them it would be heartless.
Now don't go getting thinking I am setting her on eggs - NOPE not happening don't need any more Roos. But, I just called Freys to see about getting some pullets: Blue Azures (blue eggers) and Noirans (chocolate eggers). They drive orders up to the local feed store every other week. So on the 21st they will bring up a bunch more.
So what if I got say 4 or 6 pullets? and shoved under Sophia - she would be the only hen I would give chicks to now, and only because she is getting old and she seems to be wanting to have some babies - she has been very interested in the school chicks.
