I have now sent my DS pics and told him that they have lost the GMC to a broody hen

........no answer back yet

I have sent them previous photos with the roos standing on it crowing......kinda like playing king of the mountain......funny, I didn't get any response from those either. I'm not sure if they care for my humor and witt.

I will say in my DSs favor he does help me alot, he put a spotlight out back in the chicken area for me just the other week so I would not be stumbling around in the dark after work feeding, watering, and gathering eggs.

I nominate you for most original broody box. When the time comes, nature and a broody mama will always find a way.

OK, this is an update to my broody. Here are some new pix of her and her babies. Out of the 5 good eggs I gave her she hatched 4, one egg was kicked out of the box with no development. The ones I took from here failed to hatch due to being covered with oil and muck. I moved her box and all on day 21 to the coop because I didn't want the babies to fall out of the nest and get stuck in all the mess under the hood. She pecked my hands the whole move but stayed sitting on the eggs and refused to budge....which actually made it easier for me.

BUT MAMA, I DON'T WANT TO GO TO BED!!!

And Gracie the proud mama.

Awesome story!!! I'm thinking of putting a chicken on some in the spring. My grandmother just tells me to put her in a crate with another crate on top of her.

for Gracie and her chicks, too bad the battery eggs did not hatch.

I'm wondering if you ever heard from your son about the truck, and if you did finally decide to turn it into a chicken coop? I think it would be sooo cool!
