Well, I'm hoping. It's her first time broody, but she seems pretty determined. My fear is that she keeps gathering eggs from anyone who will jump into her nest, and if she has too many, the others might get cold (get squished out from under her).

eta - 40 minutes til "my" egg basket auction ends....

Can you block off the nest so the others can't get in there with her?

I won my egg basket

isn't it pretty? ...and no, I'm not paying 24 bucks to ship, I emailed before about other shipping options. Thankfully she left the 24 bucks shipping price up - kept others from bidding on it

Well, I'm looking to the future - I have a hubby who builds me all the coops I want, remember? Plus, if I can keep selling eggs like I have been, I'll need more hens, hence more coops, and so on. Got to make this farm pay for itself so I don't have to get a job. If chickens will help with that, then Chickens shall be king around here (if they aren't already,

) I got 25 acres to work with - I got room for more coops

I told him when we moved I'd turn this place into a Chicken Ranch

I told you before that he could come here and build some coops, you know, to keep himself busy!

I wasn't joking, you've seen 'structures' that my dad has built!

And I'm sure you were very vague and used the wording "chicken ranch" very loosely...He was probably thinking of it being the OTHER chicken ranch...

Way to burst his bubble.

Meri,

Congrats on winning that basket. It sure is pretty, and you can always put some moss in it and turn it into a planter!

I'd bid on those eggs if I had the money, but after my latest try at hatching eggs it's probably just as well.

I'll be tracking the ads on craigslist, kijiji and freecycle to see if anybody tries to sell those stolen chickens. But I think they probably stole them to use as baits for fighting dogs or thought they were fighting birds and gonna try to set up cockfighting with them.
