Hi there! A good friend of mine gave us 14 hens on Sunday. Monday and Tuesday we got 8 eggs each day . 2 of the eggs were tiny .... looks like Fairy eggs. Hopefully the other girls will lay lol

Haha ha - you are describing me!!!! He has only started sleeping through the last couple of months (on top of being a crazy little dude!) so I was well over 3 years without a single nights full sleep - totally nutso in my house

Can any of you guys on here that know me a little help me please - I'm a bit worried about what to do with my broody adn the mama and new chicks. I posted but havent' had any replies and want to try to get sorted in the morning as I'm a bit worried about Doris the slightly dim silkie as the big girls are being mean to her . I posted here:

Well 32 eggs, a few more will be added Friday morn, in the bator and haven't checked for new eggs today. Depending on how thing look when I candle I may let the hens hatch some as well.
We shall see in about a week.
Cracked a goose egg and it looked kind of fertile. If she lays more I will prolly let he keep them. She's at 19 so far so doubt many more are coming.

2/3 today (unless someone has snuck one under Doris - but I dont' want to disturb her when I just popped the fertalized eggs under her this morning - I'll check later or tomorrow) - what a let down after 2 days of 9/3
Wow are they that sensitive? I dont' think much phases my girls - they have been used to a crazy 3 year old running around since they were tiny - yelling, jumping, banging etc - maybe I should market my cunning plan - you want a chilled out flock - get yourself a crazy toddler / preschooler

Well... I have 3 kids and as long as they stay on the outside of the chicken yard, the flock doesn’t care. But once they’re inside the chicken yard... they do get a little sensitive. However! It didn’t phase them.. 16/17 today!

24 yesterday and 28 today, another hen went broody today, a 3 year old RIR that never was broody ever, placed 7 eggs under her. Does being broody contagious? Now eggs are in two incubators and 2 broodies.

broody can definitely be contagious.
