Hi all. New here and saw the Wellsummer question. I have one Wellsummer pullet. She is the friendliest of my little hatchlings and seams to take to mothering the small ones. They all tuck under her at night. The Keets mostly! Can't wait til she is ready to lay those beautiful eggs.

WELCOME to BYC and the thread @LadyLion

Quote: I love all this technical stuff! Exactly how much is a glug?

Quote: yes very good thing! no injury then? glad you got the line too boot!

Quote: I came up on a Canada Goose chick several years ago at the local fishing hole with a length of monofilament line wrapped around its leg, and momma right behind it. he other end of the line was tangled in a bush. Momma was a bit antsy with me being that close to her baby, but I got hold of the line & started slowly walking up to them. I never got close enough to unwrap the line, but at least it broke & baby was able to swim away. I hope the line eventually unwound itself, but I never saw them again to find out for sure.
I cant believe momma didnt eat you alive!! nasty boogers in the wild! lol

I finally have some Silkies hatching! I had to incubate them at really low humidity (it has been very humid here) and hatching them at about 60 to 65% humidity. Can't wait till they are fluffed up!

I got 2 or 3 black showgirls and a few lavenders I think!

YES!!! @darkbluespace MUST SEE THE BABIES!!!!

Hey everyone, I'm having some broody hen issues and I need some advice. Last week the hens hatched two chicks (on Tuesday I think) then abandoned their nest. This is the first time they have ever done that, so I was surprised Wednesday morning when I found a pile of barely warm eggs left in the nest. Usually they will stay on the eggs for another day to finish hatching but I supposed this time they had better things to do... Anyway, everything was going well until Friday night. When I got home the chicks were running all over having a fit. The hens were no where to be found, until I went to their nesting spot and there they were with two eggs! I took the eggs from them and put the chicks back under the girls, all while muttering some very unkind words about their craptastic mothering skills. I figured that was that, but then again Saturday night the same thing happened. And just to keep things consistent, again last night. Now I'm beginning to worry because last night, while the chicks were having another conniption, another hen started attacking them (out of frustration maybe?). I want to just take the chicks away from them since they don't seem to give two farts about them during the late afternoon/evening, but I also feel like that's sort of cruel. Any opinions/advise out there? I'm starting to feel like CPS for chicks

I am not good with broody hens, I am not fond of them at all! for reasons you stated and others.... I would ask on the broody hen thread see if someone has options for you. I personally would take them if they are doing that.

OK, I don't know what happened to the above quote and response. Even when I go into edit it, it shows up the way I typed it. No idea why it's not showing up above the way it is typed.

I know, they are taking FOREVER to hatch! I think I lost one showgirl cause it couldn't get its big yolk bottom out of the egg : ( Poor thing. But I think I am getting more lavenders than I though so I am so excited, if only they would hurry up!!
