What are you talkin' about? All the folks on here are starting to seem like family, plus you've got a OPA.

I know! This is my first year with chickens and ducks too and its sooo addicting. I should warn you, talking to us probably won't help the addiction

Aww.. Thanks Opa.

You are right, I guess Chickenstock will be a "family reunion" of sorts. I do look forward to meeting everyone!

I've got a couple of hens that are insisting on sitting in their nesting boxes all day and all night - Don't have experience here but suspect they are "broody" - So here's my question - and do so appreciate everyone's input! If I can get them some fertalized eggs they'll be happy and hatch some chicks for me??? I don't have rooster, but would sooo like to have this experience! Thanks everyone!

I've been busy and "tarred"[tired]. Put up a mess of turnip greens and carrots.

Ohhhh thanks so MUCH for the offer - I'm in a residential area and I don't think my neighbors would be too happy!

I don't think you need to be concerned. But I am not an expert either. Going by memory, which isn't that good

, my kids had a black japanese bantam hatch out a brood and she stayed in the coop with all the other chickens without any problem.

Thanks Opa - I work here at MSU and MJ told me I could get some fertilized eggs from the Poultry Research Center - Now if only I could get them to answer their phone! Hey Opa, I'm going to try and make the get together in August!

I've been meaning to contact them about eggs. Let me know if you get a hold of them. I'd be interested to know what they have.
