fuzzi's Chicken Journal

Naomi is still on eggs.


I am planning on moving the dog crate brooder into the coop tomorrow or Friday. Hatch is probably Sunday or Monday, so I want to move her and her nest into it at night, possibly Saturday. Food and water will be provided, and any chicks that hatch will be safe from everything, but their broody mom.

On the return trip I stopped at a statuary place in Virginia, east of Marion. I bought this trio, am planning on painting them to match the Speckled Sussex.

Maybe one yellow and one chipmunk chick?

So...I left for Kentucky yesterday. We're having a nice visit. I texted a video to my chicken sitter.

He texted back "That hen that wouldn't move? She was sitting on 5 eggs!" He brought them in the house...


I called him and told him to put back the eggs. She's supposed to be sitting on them, she's brooding!

He put them back. I hope she gets back on them.


There's nothing I can do, I won't be home for 48 hours.

Did you explain to him before you left you had a hen sitting to hatch?

Sounds like you had a wonderful trip. I'm glad you made it home safely and all seems to be going very well.

Cute statues, looking forward to seeing how you paint them.
