Just when I thought Bella couldn't get any worse at being broody, she proved me wrong. I went up and she came running out the shed for food, I went and opened her box to see if any other hens had laid any eggs and all the straw was scratted up and the eggs were gone. Looked through the straw and found her eggs and they were still warm so I just give her them back. If she gets any chicks I will be really, really shocked!!

Hi Everyone,

Just curious if you consider this girl to be Breeding/Show Quality? She was sold to me as a cull from a breeder/friend, but she looks so good to me! Just wondering if i'm biased, or if she would be a good foundation to a 'fun' hobbyist breeding project... If she isn't, I would love to know why not, merely for an educational purpose

She looks like a show bird to me and possibly a breeder! She is beautiful

Does she have side sprigs on her comb? That would make her not breeding quality. But anyways, she is beautiful!

Nope, no side sprigs!

Thank you I tend to think so, too.

We just had Orpington chicks from our flock hatch in Arkansas and Washington state! URL]

I like the dividers and was wondering how you did that!!

This was the Washington State hatching of our eggs. But it appears she used a 1/2" X 1" welded wire and "J" clipped them together. We prefer the Rubbermaid dishwasher baskets for bottles/nipples. Like this one:
