Curiosity question - I've been noticing on this thread that a lot of you have talked about setting eggs under broody hens, but almost no one (at least in the short time I've been on) has mentioned breaking on. Is there a reason beyond personal preference or breeding programs? Does it have an affect on the hen's health or state of mind?

Not sure what that is?
 
hi all so very far behind... I'm not in the house much when its warm out. finding it almost impossible to keep up with the thread. Just wanted to jump in and say that I hope all the moms here human and critter had a wonderful day yesterday, I got breakfast cooked for me, house plants and cards..... o and my seabright... well SHE is trying to crow... still have no clue as to what the other chick is and I think I got 2 more Silkie Roo's, this trying for pullets is a pain in my butt!!!
I found a secret nest of 18 EE eggs with my 3 year old white EE sitting on them yesterday, ( no adult Roo ) so I don't know what I will do about that ???
I have an ISA Brown that FLATT refuses to roost in the hen house, she prefers Goats to chickens..

Short funny story for ya all, while getting feed ready for everyone yesterday morn. DH YELLS at me to come quick, so I go running ( DH never YELLS ) to the chicken yard where he is at and he is all flustered about something being around Romeo's neck ( guess you need to know who Romeo is or you wont get the punch line )

Romeo

So I stand there looking Romeo all over and I'm dumb founded cause I see and feel NOTHING... DH says cant you see that BLUE thing on the side of his head??????

Happy Mother's Day to everyone!!! human moms and animal moms!!

Got our garden planted. Lots of work in this one! Glad it's done and now we have some rain showers heading our way. Not soon enough my newly seeded alfalfa field really needs the rain. Brought home the Wheaton Marans lastnight and they are doing great. 6 eggs out of 10 birds is not to bad.

Here are two Maran eggs next to my golden comet eggs.
Nice color to them. I'm going to collect the first bunch and try to incubate them.

Ok New to the Group and new to being a "chicken mama". Have 4 Australorps and 9 Easter Eggers. Live in town and are allowed only hens, but low and behold, after we moved the 6 week old "ladies" outside, SOMEbody crowed... not once, not twice, but 3 times.. the last 2 I asked him to do it again, and he did... So now Chicken Noodle needs to find a home. A few chicken friends said "sure bring him over, he will be good in a pot." and city girl, animal lover that I am, I can't do that.... Ugh....hoping to find him a home here soon...

I will have a couple questions here in a bit ... trying to find some things out on my own.... that's sorta how I learn best

Thanks
