Yep, that was right before she decided babies are the devil and left me to raise four grandchickens.Wow, that is a serious death-look side eye glare if I ever saw one...

In Seattle it is "10 months of the year" chickens nightgown. I love it! Now that Seattle allows chickens, I don't live there. Just my luck.Yep, that was right before she decided babies are the devil and left me to raise four grandchickens.

All hens want to cool off when they are broody, that is the reason they sit on eggs, and turn them. Parrots will get in the water, so will all the other birds I have had. Dylan is great at the "Stomp" bath. I know she wants to lay when she gets in the water. I cut down on her daylight and no eggs!
Really?? Wow. Usually I get at least a few eggs right before they brood.@BantyChooks , Tucks isn't actually laying. Iv'e gotten maybe two eggs in a month from her. She is just choosing to ignore all that and do it anyway.
Her comb just noticeably pinked up this morning, i'm guessing the warmer than usual temps have scrambled her brain.
I just photo-copied Jan and pinned it to my favorite Audubon bird calendar! I neglected to donate, no calendar this year for me!Welp, i'm dumb. Threw the new calender away but kept the old one safe and sound. Just going to be 2018 again here, liked it so much i'm just going to do it again.
I think it starts before even laying in wild birds -- Parrots and ducks & geese start making a nest well in advance of laying.
To the extent of full broodiness?
Well, to the extent of building a nest an guarding it. Well before any eggs lots of times. My geese would claim and defend a nest box in Jan. and not lay for a month. The days are getting longer after Dec 21.
