Beautiful eggs all.

Get a heating pad, put an old pillow case on it tying up the end with a rubber band. Make a cave (with 3 open sides) by laying it over a bakers rack. Set it on low heat.
Morinth was laid out wrong in the nest box and very weak. I brought her inside and kiddo helped me make her a hospital room with snacks, towels, and lots of sunshine.
She perked up after a few minutes but she's definitely still a grumpy broody.
Hydro hen water, blackberry and blueberries, tuna, and layer pellets.
She was causing a ruckus so I snuck my camera under the gap of the door...
Uh oh...
She was NOT happy about being spied on!
Hubby says keep her in there the rest of the day and maybe she'll break broodiness. I was going to go set up a hospital cage but he said to stay inside for now in case she has an emergency. So I'll peek in there every so often. She seems to have perked up a lot, maybe she is floppy because she lost so much weight?

Those are some nice eggs you’re getting there. I see her egg is more red toned than chocolate, like a very dark terra cotta, love those speckles! Very unique!
I will see if I can set some of Larry’s eggs with the silkies, as a BR if I get a male I should be able to tell it apart.
They tend to be in a trance like state when broody so she could have been just doing that.
Leaving her inside there in a strange place should help her to changes her attitude about being broody. But then again silkies are notoriously hard to break broody behaviour. Good luck! Keep us apprised
It seems we have another enabler in our midst!She is adorable! Especially in the last picture. (Maybe just a couple of babies?)
I think his issue was with it auto shutting off. Never easy is it trying to find something safe and effective.
I was lucky and got a really nice one from the feed store here. Last one on the shelf!
Haha if we had our big run set up I would ask hubby...but we really don't have the space right now. I would LOVE baby chicky birdsShe is adorable! Especially in the last picture. (Maybe just a couple of babies?
