I haven't let mine hatch any, but they love to collect a huge clutch or eggs (as in, 20+) and start sitting. I had a couple broodies I had to chase off nests for a few weeks.

Sounds like my geese. Definitely don't need a gazillion of those. Are the nests hard to find? Or do they lay certain places?

What breeds?

What breeds?

One’s a saxony, and I have no clue about the other. Might be a Rouen mix? I’m thinking about asking more

Yes, I only find their nests by accident. They have so much area to roam that their nests can be anywhere.

Entry #2 -- A silkie flock: Martha hatched the chicks, but Midget helps out -- while Jude protects them all and even takes a turn warming the chicks.

Very nice flocks. I love when the males help out raising the young.

Wow! How many are there? Can you tell them apart and do they have names?
