You need a gardener-cook-housekeeper-chauffeur! All the help can live in the big house and you get the small one!

I'm getting eggs now! Anywhere from 3 to 5 a day. Mostly green, but one of my 3 BA hens is laying now. Also I think my EE pullets are starting to get fired up!

Ooh I want a small house! This one is 4 BR, 2 BA, full basement and I can't keep up with it! Give me a camper to live in and I'll be happy!

Broodies may be cute, but you dont get to watch the eggs hatch and for me I had a bad experienve with a broody Cochin including a low hatch rate: 1 out of 5: and a hurt chick who ended up dieing.View attachment 2985398

Oh thats so sad! I can see why broodies can be worse. My incubator has higher hatch rates than my broody.

I have only hatched with a broody hen once though. I was visiting her chicks one day and I found one that wasn't opening it's eye. The eye was infected and she ended up losing her eye. I still don't know if she got pecked or what. She is now my sweet girl, Puffle.

Our neighbor is like that. She is a granny, in her 70s-80s. I couldn't believe it, since she has 4 horses and two dogs.

She lives up in the hills, while her caretaker has a separate house.

Sorry that happened. I have had broodies that hatch well but then don't know what to do with them.
