Official Squatch Watchers

Moles are pretty big, and stinky! Cat brought one in and it was gag worthy. They are among the few things the cat or the girls won't eat.

I was thinking the same except for the buff orp

The comb looks too big for a pure BO cockerel that young. Looks like a mix.

I just set eggs under a broody!

Ok I was thinking it was a great price for a friend. Everyone else would pay 50$for a dozen except you guys

You might do a little investigating and see what the going rates are in your area but $50 doesn’t seem unreasonable to me. Pure breed eggs with good fertility go for $3 or $4 per egg in my area.

Yay for Rae! Spring time is for babies! Don’t you want some too Henny?

I've hatched a fair number of babies so far this year.... (35 or so) but none have been hatched by a broody.

Sam..... Are these your black cochin eggs?



I wish I had one or two just going broody. These girls have sat a long time already and refuse to be broken.


By the by these broody Australorp are from Strombergs hatchery. I am quite pleased with them.

Um yeah I forgot that in my excitement over the broody. I have decided broodies are wondrous and amazing. Even mine who is kinda dumb

You know I do.

I must restrain myself. I still have 27 hens even with my losses this spring.

My coops are pretty full.

I do understand (I mean, you have seen how small my setup is) but enabling others is just so fun!

They are wondrous and amazing, especially this one. Last fall, she hatched 10 out of 10 eggs that made it past the first week (2 eggs had weak shells and broke) and she mothered the babies until 15 weeks.
