More importantly..................what will her DH say?

I put 36 Icelandic eggs in the 'bator for the Easter Hatchalong..........am I crazy?!

Yep! Whatcha going to do when you get more broodies? You're going to have the super sized flock of Icelandics!

I'm hoping at least five go broody so I can put those eggs under them on day 18!!!.....and another three or four to put the Isbar, Ams, OEggers and Campines under!! They are so much more well-equipped than me to raise them! Speaking of broodies...............I though maybe Kleo was considering another try but there were five eggs in that coop so she's still laying but..........she's not leaving the nest.............one "down"..........eight to go!!

And a whole lot less messy, less work, less on your heat bill, etc.

I LOVE broodies!

No experience, I'm sure there would be barking involved. They do recognize hawks as predators and keep their eyes on them.

That's good. What does he do if there are predators? Have you had any experience with that?

I know they are "talkers" Thanks so much for the information, this will help me convince my husband!

This is a rhetorical question, right?

This is Kara, one of my 11 week old girls. I love her caramel color so much, do you know if she will keep it, or is it too early to tell?

Kara is adorable!
