Char is broody so I've allowed her to have a go at hatching chicks for her first time. I moved her from the nest to the broody coop no problem she just sat on the eggs straight away.
She's on 9 eggs. Hopefully all fertile! I haven't had much luck with fertile eggs while Biscuit has been molting but the ones I've eaten so far have been fertile so she may get 9 chickies! Hopefully a good mother, you never know till they have a go!
The eggs could be from Smokey (silver partridge, which I hope most are coz she and Biscuit make nice colours) Char or Puff (white) or Boof (white). Hope none from Chino as she is one I don't like - great layer but not so great broody when I gave her the chance last time.

I have modified the coop a little so now plenty more roosting space for additions and nest boxes seperate from broody coop so mother can have more space to herself. Roosts on left, broody coop and nests on right.

Hi dear friends, I haven't been on board for quite a while...last time I was here there were about 400 pages - oh wow and now already 700! I thought so often of all of you, hoping that all of you and all your little ones are fine❤️
Happy New Year, dear friends - may 2022 be a wonderful year for all of you and all your loved ones ❤️❤️❤️
I'm sorry I kind of vanished. My mom got the diagnosis lung cancer and so much changed for all of us here then. I often thought 'tomorrow I will be back on board' and then I just didn't make it - - again.
Little flock - my little James with the 6 girls - and boy group - Maku, Kasimir, Snowman and Sindbad - are all fine.
The girls are all laying and tiny Schorschette, the smallest hen, lays the biggest eggs😳
Brioche taught me how to handle a broody and Roberta and Schorschette confirmed, what I learned😆 Then Brioche got broody again. And today again I heard some Halloween-worthy screaming when walking towards the coop 🤣
The Silkies are all my joy.
I'm glad to be back here, dear friends, and I'm looking forward to catch up on everything ❤️
