Ok dinner done, dishes done. What's everyone up too? Red & Sally, what in the world are you guys up too? Granny, sure wish one of us were close by to give you a hand on the bator. Sounds like a lot of work to me. I'm sticking to the broodies for now. If I decide I want to hatch a quantity I've got 3 Bator's to do it with. I've got a Silkie that went broody the other day. This poor gal doesn't have enough sense to even set on the eggs. I keep finding her off to the side of them lol. What a dingbat, she is confused. She is currently helping momma Silkie take care of the 7 babies. She went broody in the same box that Momma & babies were already in. The little ones run to the box & crawl under her as well as their momma. Someone layed 2 eggs in the past 2 days but when I went out there this morning she was sitting on the nest, but not the eggs. I keep taking her out of broody mommas nest box, but she's determined to be in it. I think I'm going to have to move her next door until she's broke.
