Our Mixed Flock Journey!

Well, I went out to put up more fencing even though I thought my hen was staying in the pen! As I'm working on the fence, I hear a little rustling and low and behold there she is sitting on the other side of her fence on 8 eggs and I saw her picking at one of the eggs, I think she ate it...:rant Anyway, my husband climbed over a shorter section of the fence and caught her, she is now in chicken jail until I can get the rest of the larger fence gaps blocked off! When I first walked up to the pen she was surrounding by a good portion of the flock commiserating with her... :gig If the new fencing doesn't keep her contained...she's on her own! :hmm

Broodies are the bane of my life. :(

I have solved most of my broody problems as of now... by rehoming my Cochins! And when they ALL sat at the same time it would then spread to Sunny and Rosemary as well! Sunny my BO went broody again after they left but I put her in the brooder section of the coop and broke her but it was only a half broody stint! Thank goodness! So it was easy! And none as of late :wee

This girl will be contained for a few days, hopefully that will take care of her broodiness! :rolleyes:

Rehoming is not an option. All the hens that do it are favourites among my non Campines. 🙄 I don't even mind the lack of eggs. I do mind mucky nesting boxes & silly hens. Wrold took a swipe @ me yesterday. That's all I need. @ this rate all my nesting boxes will be occupied by broodies.
