Just a thought: why don't you place your eggs under your broody?

42 eggs won't fit under a tiny little bantam chicken, who's already claimed about 8 of her own

So yesterday my automatic turner died

so now i'm turning eggs by hand and praying its not too late.... will find out on the 29th.

Also, My white bantam wyandotte has gone broody.... so maybe i'll get some banty chicks this year!!

Oh, NO! I hope you are able to get a good hatch rate! I hope you get some bantams from your little wyandotte.

This happened to me. They should be fine. Course you could move some of the eggs to the broody hen.

So happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have one chick that is almost all out and one more with a pip and is chirping up a storm! So happy. I have 2 more eggs that aren't doing anything yet. Today is day 22 so I'll give them some more time. Maybe water test them to see if they are still alive tomorrow. I'll get some pics when they are all out and dry!

Oh and had a family reunion today here at the house. AWESOME DAY! just hate the clean up...We all decided that we need to do it next year

So a few days ago I saw a bee going into a hole in the wood just above our picture window. It's not yet painted. There are a number of hole too.

Well today DW hears a Knocking sound on the front of the house. It seems a Would Pecker is pecking at the wood. It's come back a few times since.

I had sprayed the holes to kill the bee but apparently there are larvae there. Bumbles drill holes I think and lay just few eggs. I've recently read an article on Bumbles. There are a number of varieties.

Some make nests in Tufts of grass.

We have Carpenter Bees all around the house here. Lots of little holes they have drilled too. They will reuse holes. I don't mind them so much b/c they don't appear to be anywhere near aggressive no matter how close you get to them or their holes - and they pollinate =)

This is what I found tonight. Chicken bunk beds. apparently the broody mommas are both done sleeping in the nesting box and this chick and other tucked under moms wing made it up. The other 3 are piled together in the nesting box
