Thank you for sharing! Sounds like Sparkle and Alice have it madeWoo hoo! How very cool about the article about your Maxine!
I have a house flock, of sorts. One bona-fide House Silkie, but she has hatched 8 flock eggs back to back. (Her eggs are not fertile as I don't let the roosters in the house. She exercises - now with her chicks - in my fenced garden.)
There are a few chickens which are outside all day with the rest of the flock but they come inside to either lay eggs in an empty brooder bin or sleep at night. One of those is a Silver Sebright, Alice, and she's now gone broody in that bin. Sparkle has her own nest box.
Sparkle hasn't worn her diaper since she went broody, as I didn't want her to bother with it during her confinement. She always ran outside to do the infamous broody-poop, anyway. Then back onto the eggs.
My first House Chicken was a White Crested Black Polish rooster, who was a special needs fella. He had been feather plucked and pecked by other flock members three separate times. He recuperated in the house... He walked in circles a lot, even after I trimmed his crest. Jack was a loving and gorgeous rooster; he wore a black diaper with silver skull-and-crossed-bones pattern.
Aarrggh. My Polish parrot facsimile. He is missed.
Oh please do share the article when it gets published! Go Maxine!!
Thank you!You ARE a very lucky person to be able to experience the true essence of chicken. Most people never get to truly relate to them like you do and you are able to see their real selves. Great job with Maxine!
