My broody girls

Lenny had to brood over in her very own coop

Tanny, brooding in the corner with her *PRECIOUS* 5 eggs, lol. She built her nest under the chicken roost so I had to prop a board up over her.

I am constantly replacing their hay, they steal eachothers nesting material all the time and drop it all over the floor, silly girls.

Shakers, she WAS nesting with one of the Wyandotte hens but I guess they got sick of eachother and decided to split up & get seperate boxes!

Zoli (off the nest), her nest is hidden.. i still have to find it. This will be her second clutch of the year

Yes!! When we get our small farm set up, I'm going to go crazy with ducks and chickens

Haha! So am I! I just cant stop getting more and more. Instead of being the old crazy lady with the million cats, I am going to be the old crazy lady with a BILLION birds! Lol!

Thats the spirit!

We'll have to be neighbours!

Thank you Birdcrazy!

I have one more girl on a nest, Jenga, but she wasn't out when I was taking pictures. I can't wait for them all to get done brooding, a few of them are starting to look a little raspy and pale in their feathers.

I only have ONE(laying age) hen that isn't brooding but she had around 9-10 eggs in her nest right now and is super fussy about having to lay in THAT nest, so I am sure it's not too far off!

Also, here's my new Blue boy. it was a long drive to get him but I think it was worth it, he's pretty sweet

Wow! You're going to have loads of ducklings

they'll be soo cuuute!
That blue boy is very attractive, I love your colours! I've only got white at the moment, but hopefully going to get a pied, chocolate or blue hen to add

i used to have a solid chocalate and one of the black and whites and they created a white and chocalate that had blue eyes

the only surviving duckling right now. it had a brother/sister and it drowned (yes a duck drowned) and there was another baby hatched out early from another nest, but it was dead the first time I saw it, I don't know what happened. We are still waiting on another hatch.
