I forgot to tell you guys about all my broody girls. When I first got my chickens and people said that Cochins were super friendly Mamas, I never gave it any thought...its probably the only thing I didn't think about when the chicken fever struck. They were only half right in our case! Mine are not friendly at all but want to be Mamas badly. They are taking up all three with alternating broody cycles. One finishes just in time for another two to start! Our bantam Ameraucana hatched a chick just about 5 weeks ago and its growing up nicely, but with 15 chickens already, we don't need anymore babies. With two others molting, I might need to start buying eggs again unless my 16 week olds start laying soon. A family of 5 can't live on one bantam hens' eggs along. WOW. I never saw this coming.
