Name the eggs! Choose your baby to root for!

Y'all. I accidentally dropped an egg when checking batch #2 for air cells. only the outer shell cracked. No leakage or anything. I nail polished it to death but I don't think it's going to work. I'm so sorry Azure! @Chive I will check on them tomorrow. I hope they still make it somehow.

Awww, I’m so sorry! Poor Azure!
I’m glad there was no leakage.
You did what you could! I hope he makes it!

I would totally love that! She sounds fun.
Alas, I will depend on some of the hens I have.
My neighbors gave me five hens that seem like they are about 2 years old, other than one hen witch is at least 4 years old. I’ll have to count on them, because the rest of mine are only 9-13 weeks old right now. They said that one of them went broody earlier this year though, so hopefully I’ll have at least one broody. 2 of the hens are OE, 1 is a BA, 1 is a RIR, and 1 is a Blue Ameraucana.

I had a Blue Jersey Giant that went broody 8 times in her second year! I only let her raise chicks 3 times out of those 8, and the other 5 times I had the easy feat of breaking her (it actually wasn’t that easy ).
She was the sweetest! She was a great broody and a good mother. A lovely gentle giant.
I could go on forever about her, so I think I’ll stop myself here .
(Me just talking about my chickens (Again .)
Anyway, unfortunately I had to sell her early this year (this would be her third year) due to us moving to a new house. I really wish I could’ve keep her . (Look at me, I said I would stop but here I am)

Broody hens are the best! I love them.

I think talking about chickens too much is why we're all here on BYC my friends don't have chickens so they just don't understand. I have one chicken lover friend, and it's awesome! Tell me all about your chickens because that's what I'm here for! Lol!

We have looked at what breeds we want to add to our laying flock for next year and Blue JG is one of them! That's so awesome you had such a great one, and very sad you had to sell her, moving is such a pain. Oh, and I say "we" but it's really me just finding breeds I think my hubby will say, that looks cool, and I take that as permission to purchase... I have found out he likes blue chickens I have found.

Here are my two broody silkies, they are maybe 6 months old and getting practice in for next year they're both off the nest now.

Ditto! We don't have any chicken friends irl so no one to chicken chat with. Although the girls are mine, hubby gets soooo disappointed when visitors don't go admire the pretty girls .

And family members won't even mention the word chicken anymore for fear I'll start bombing the conversation with random chicken facts .

However, please note that NO ONE turns down the offer of fresh eggs tho

Good morning eggies! Hope everyone is growing nicely!
Go Izzy!
