What is lockdown? I've got 2 broody....almost 15 days now........but they stay in. They can get out but they only get up to eat and drink..they don't even pond anymore. I think they've locked themselves down. LOL....We're building bigger today.....dont know how many babies we'll have out of this double hatch.Haa haaa... I do enjoy this thread.
The Final Countdown!!!!!(for one of my girls on 15 eggs) She's not on lockdown yet, but I expect her to be within the week.
One of my girls that went to a friend's, she went broody on 8 eggs.
Congrats on recent hatches and broods.

Good luck on your hatch!
Here's my little Alice. She's not quite 3yrs, but this is her first sitting. I'm not sure how many eggs she has...will they all be in one layer or will she stack them? Her nest is fairly thick. I know she has at least 3 (that I can see when she gets up)...but I thought she had 5-6...so, just not sure.
Since this is her first she's been allowed to sit on (we got her last fall)...is there anything special that I should be on the lookout for? She'll get up for 10-20min a day right now to eat and bathe.
I'm not candling or anything mainly because getting into the back of that cage to her nest is a pain. So, I figure...I'll just let her be and let nature take it's course.
Now, once she hatches out this batch (hopefully), will she begin to lay again or do they only lay up until they go broody once a season?
Thanks!
