lol When I had a broody hen I didn't even bother keeping much track just one day there would be chicks lol, but with an incubator I baby it like crazy

All clear here, too. Wasn't that an amazing story? It was so cool to see the thread start, then John end up on the news

It was very cool! Sad that they didn't keep him in quarantine until the media showed up.

Seen Tombstone?
"Well, I've got one for each of Ya"

Love that movie.

Ok I *might* be going a little chicken nuts but I couldn't help my self but play the chick peeping vid to the nest box just now and then I heard a crack and the broody started gently clucking... am I going nuts or do the shells make a noise when they crack a bit? Haha I think I may need a chicken free break after the next few days

I was too scared of getting slapped for looking so just came back to the house to tell everyone my non - news that I may or may not of imagined in my chicken haze!

You can post all the updates you like! That's what (most) folks are here for. The first hatch is a nail biter and the virtual smacks only hurt for a few minutes.

I would love to learn something from this thread as it was recommended reading, but after reading up to page 3, I noticed I have 4100+ unread posts...WHOA!!

Can anyone recommend a couple of post numbers to get through the noise to the signal?

What kind of info are you looking for? There is a lot of horsing around here.

And this is why I am not interested in having a broody hen, no matter how much easier it is...lol

Exactly! I can't wait for the day my chicks have babies & are mommies but there's no way I won't keep incubating! Like SC, I will just consider the broody chicks as "extras"! Lol.

Hey SC,

I wanted your opinion on this Marans Roo before I ask on the "Marans crock pot recipe" thread.

Anything that would DQ him (when he's older) that you can see? He has white bottom feet and feathered shanks. I'm just not sure about the comb an eye color. Not really going for a show Marans, but this guy came from a very dark egg and I think he's headed in a good direction. Honest feedback won't hurt my feelings.

That sounds kind of nice. I would imagine my wyandottes will go broody next year at some point.

Oh yes, they can crack very loudly!

That's good to know! Do you brood inside or outside?

Is the pip in the wrong end?
You seriously need to incubate eggs in your house, in a small plastic Brinsea incubator! You get to pull up a chair and watch every single thing that happens with a full view! It's amazing!! You will love it! And you won't have to keep going outside wishing your broody was transparent!!

I can feel your excitement!...it's addicting...time to start shopping for an incubator!

Wrong side!! Notice the lines drawn on it (yes, I believe I may have had a "chocolate milk" or two when those were drawn) but imagine it extended almost half way further toward the pointy end! Its still working on it though. The little chip laying on the floor was the piece I could barely see under it, before I rolled it.

So glad that story had a happy ending. John was so obviously devastated. Tear-jerking for sure.

I hope it goes well. Can they live that way?
