Ok I admit my half broody silkie converted me today!

[hcammack]

There were 5 half grown chicks in the nest in the chicken tractor and I was like oh I wonder where the silkie is? They were piled in their ready to sleep. I pulled each 13 week old very large teenager out and low and behold on top of two golf balls and a wooden egg with that evil possesed look in her eye my Partridge silkie pullet from peachick. I did not pull her out because she bit me

We will see what she is doing tomorrow morning I may need three eggs from someone though

she is a little girl and I don't want her to have to work to hard to raise chicks so maybe 5 eggs maximum. I am still waiting to see if she really is stuck before I go making any decisions. Wish me and her luck I should just call her broody

ITS MAYBE MY FIRST BROODY EVER!!!

Oh I bet she is broody if she bit you!!!!

...and if you have that many silkies it won't be your last!!!

She is off the nest bet she will be back on in the next couple of days I hope

Give her a good wack upside the head, and she will no longer be broody. Maybe you need to come visit my neighbour and get her some eggs.

I probably will hmm what breed do you think I should add if she really does fully commit?

I was thinking BLRW or Silver marans I may acutally see if peachicks leghorns are laying buy the time this girl commits she said they were showing signs

I need some real layers and those leghorns would sure do the trick!
