really cute chicks and what a great hatch rate! the peacocks are beautiful. the kids saw them on top of the coop when we were leaving Saturday. They thought it was cool they were white.

Often, if you give them a sudden change of environment, it will break them. That's what happened with my welsummer when I tried to move her nest so eggs would stop getting broken. The new place had a nest, but was such an upset that she immediately broke the broodiness and didn't sit on a nest again. But then again... it didn't break my australorp, who had been broody for about 3 months before that. I had to give her a couple of adopted babies.

Maybe if you get an area with absolutely no nesting box or straw, and keep them there a few days?

I've heard that if you take them and put them in a wire cage with a wire floor... they will quit. No straw or shavings. Not sure how long... maybe a few days?

Thank you Sheryl. You are very welcome.

Thanks. They love roosting on top of the coop. I love looking at them out there. So glad I got the white ones too.

Yeah I've also heard that folks have great luck with the wire cage thing. No straw, bare wire for 3 days. Otherwise you can do a search on the subject. BYC has a lot of threads on this topic.
