My DH...what a sweet man. He went from being ok if I got a few (like 5) hens to 30. We just hatched 4 new babies out and now we have another broody. The first 4 we obtained from another chicken owner by posting on craiglist that I was just looking for 4 because my broody hen was small and I didn't want her having alot under her to worry about. Well the day she hatched her eggs her sister goes broody and my DH being the sweet guy he is says "why don't you give her some eggs to"
I couldn't believe it. He said "but that's the last one, he don't wanna heat the barn all winter. So I put 4 of my own eggs under her and these eggs ought to be interesting to say the least. Without further ado my new babies...And some I got 5 weeks ago at an auction.
And my auction babies
The rooster is already mean and probably won't be around much past twelve weeks
Oh and here's a pic of my other broody hen. Good thing I don't have an incubator
I AM AN ADDICT!!
