Quick question, does anyone in this thread breed birds that are likely to go broody? I don't need one right now but for my next batch of chicks I'm thinking of hatching under one. Thanks!

I breed Silkies. They always go broody. The trick is keeping them non broody. I only have chicks at the moment

I am in the Pottstown area, but willing to travel a bit.

Dennis has lots of autosex chicks there, including blue/oliver/dark brown egg layers, but he doesn't sell pullet. If you want pets, it's the best to start as chicks. My chicks from Dennis are supper friendly.

Our school district went completely online today to make sure the kids don't get behind. I bet more schools will follow soon. It worked out well today. My daughter was done with everything in 2 hours and my son had most done within 2 hours and a zoom meeting. I'm assuming work will increase for them though once everyone gets comfortable with the online system. Here's the kids working on their school work (high school and middle school)

I have silkie feathered Easter eggers if you're open to chicks



Silkie feathered Easter egger chicks available here. Several of the mothers have gone broody already. They're less than a year old. Here's one, sharing a nest with Cynthia the turkey

Online study is very challenging for kindergarteners. Plus, he wants to play with his friends. i'm hoping this can be under control by end of April or even May, so he can go back to school before summer even just for a couple of weeks.

I got approval for two more pullets, not anymore. So I'll wait for the ameraucana pullet plus whatever an other pullet availabel atthe same time.

This is Dragon (named by my 6yr old), she is one of the legbar chicks from Dennis. she is only 2 week old. Everytime I strech my arm out and call her, she flys or jump to my arm and walk up to sit on my shoulder. The other legbar, Winnie-the-pooh, and oliver egger, Boo (again named by my 6yr old), also like to roost on my arm. All my girls are supper friendly, but the legbars seems loving to spend time with humans more. The welbars will let me pet them but have no interest to be hold.

My Dad passed away at 9:30 last night. He went very peacefully, at home and surrounded by family. He had increasing trouble breathing the last few weeks and was ready for this.

We just got online again with backyard chickens. So sorry to hear of your loss!

Collecting eggs again for 2 more broodies.......

Time to move this flock to another property to see if it is something in the water! This is broody #13 and #14 this year if they stick. And it is our senior star Janeway and a SPR hen, so I'm 99.9% sure they will stick it out.
