Right on, Knox! I am hoping to get some LF Cochins this Spring, specifically for brooding and raising chicks

so; its comically ironic to me that you are brooding a Dellie over LF Cochin eggs... LOLz

It really is - i sort of wanted to "test " her on her broodiness and my friends has more eggs than he knows what to do with - hens run with three roosters - so there ya go - LOL She is now a surrogate mom!
I do know that his hens are insanely broody as even in the cold two of his have tried and they do make good mothers

Wow, Cyn. Those chicks sure are cute... Lil' o' fuzzy butts

If only I lived closer, lol.

I am so excited to get some Delaware eggs from someone, I can hardly wait. I have a barnyard mix hen I created myself who is almost a year 9 Months old going broody on me... Problem is she doesnt seem to be sticking to the nest as much as she should.

Boy do I know about having crooked toes on chickens lol... One of my hens threw a whole line of them, and my incubator caused some problems for me too.

Speaking of old things (lol) I found an old picture of Hefner. Now, remember, he was not the greatest example, but not the worst... Well, almost the worst. But he was the best rooster I have ever owned. He was very good at watching hawks and keeping the girls alive and fed.

Just a picture for old times sake

Joletabey, if you have eggs in a about four months, I would love to try some from you if possible

Ink-- Good luck with your broody!! The three broodies I had were crazy lol. One hen hatched one chick, and the other two hatched out six chicks together and it was strange.... Lol

Thanks! I really am in shock that she is broody - she is my most active and curious girl - the most shocking thing is that ADD hasnt kicked in and she isnt going stir crazy wanting to get up and explore as she usually does!

 

[joletabey]

Delgirl, you let me know when you want eggs!

Billy- GOOD LUCK!!!!

Now, PepsNick has Dellies-left here with five chicks yesterday. Watch out! Another Delaware convert!

 

[delawaregirl09]

Yay! PepsNick, you have to give us weekly updates, its only fair!

Joletabey, I'll sure let ya know

I'm on a mission now

Ink, I know how you feel about her not getting up to explore. One of my hens did that to me constantly and it made me nervous wreck lol.

Is this post dieing? Looks that way. The other Delaware post SDWD is anything but Delawares it seems.

Such is life
