Granny's gone and done it again

Most of mine is covered. Ground water seeping up floods the coop so dont matter

Broody still sitting 12 eggs. Goats are very active, funny to watch. Won't have to cook today, plenty of leftover roasted veggies.

Nice on not cooking. Love them roasted veggies. I bet they are funny I like watching videos of them playing.
How long has your broody been sitting and on what ?

Mines covered but wind blows rain in & dummies lay on the ground plus I didn't pick up eggs on Sunday.

I have tarps on most of the sides. But going to take some down when it gets hot.

haha well "they" dont know what their talking about I guess.
Its been a while since you have had littles.

Just a fat guess but the last 6 seramas I have should hatch right around swap time meaning I wont be able to take them. I like the seramas but they are only good for broodys. I need to lighten my load. Its not going to be easy because there are some I really like. Now, my jubs and polish seem to be just as useless. Jubs suck at laying , eat a ton and act like cornish X . Plus the prolapse didnt make me a fan of them. Yall know how dumb the polish are. They also have crooked toes so probably not good for breeding but I dont know the cause.
I think I need to do a complete clean out and with my health figure out how many egg layers will do my family . I probably have enough already with the SFH, super blue, I like the jub/polish cross, Barred rock and one Im not sure. Maybe black sex link. I could keep those in the serama coop and turn my big run into a garden maybe . Just a few tomato and cukes

5&6 months, they've just started laying.

well ya, Thats like Forever ! LOL first time moms are scary. I hope she goes the whole way BUT if she leaves the nest and you find cold eggs you might want to warm before you toss. Those things are remarkable .
