I may have just jinxed myself LOL I might have TWO broodies

 

[LaSombra]

I put a few eggs under my broody the other day (friday) also

Not sure if any are developing, though. I candled them yesterday and they haven't done anything yet. I'll candle them again tomorrow and if they're not developing, I'll put some of my own eggs under her.

are your broodies bald on the chest? My other broody from last month never lost feathers on her chest.

How about pictures of the broody on her nest from everyone? I will take a pic today after the sun comes up!

I have some put their on my other computer! I'll get them posted when I get home. My other girl that might be thinking of becoming broody was up on the roost last night.

Here's some pictures of my girl that is broody but not on her nest... Honey :

And a picture of the thinking of becoming broody girl...my little Coco( the brown one)

On 4/21 I gave a broody Barred Rock cross 4 eggs. So far, so devoted LOL I take her out once a day so that she can eat. She stays out for about 5 minutes and then hightails it back into her nesting box. The only one that bothers her is a Polish that insists the only box she can lay in is the "mommy box." She squeezes herself in and pushes mommy out. When she's done, mommy goes back in. I haven't handled the eggs since the morning of 4/21 when I marked them and put them in her nesting box. We'll see what happens.
