I put the SPR eggs in lockdown. One quit after about a week, but the other 7 were wiggling a few days ago. I’m assuming this will be my last batch of chicks for the year.

SPR are sure pretty! But I have enough broodies and don't need more. Sunny goes broody every 4 weeks. Others joined her once a while. The biggest problem with Sunny is she becomes so mean to the chicks after she came out of broody jail.

Why put her in jail?

I will die if I get another six broodies next week.

The cemains are gone now. I dont mean to rush you at all but i need them gone within 2 weeks, which is right before I leave.

I can't take them that quickly, sorry.

I have a SPR egg. Either Easter chick is laying at 19 weeks, or one of the last group is laying again. I need to stop jinxing myself.
… the thought being she might want more chicks in two weeks, and I just said I was doing the last hatch of the year.

I have a broody pile in my turkey pen.... pretty much half the flock. One tom and about 6 hens all piled in the corner. I heard a peeping egg this morning when I fed everyone but I've been on the run all day so I haven't had time to check what's going on. I was trying to kick everyone out to go eat but stopped when I heard the peeping. We'll see if they actually do hatch anything... that's a lot of bird in that pile lol. It's Phil, Sweet Pea, Pebbles, Baby, Lil, Princess, and I saw Bella in the mix but I'm not sure if she was "in" the group or just checking things out lol

Ugh, my girls already look like they’re molting from being barebacked. Why do Brahmas and Cochins have to have such soft feathers?!

…The boys of course look gorgeous.

You need some saddles!

LOL I’d need too many. Chicken math finally got away from me. I’m buying them heated waterers instead. No way do I want to haul water again this winter!!
