You don't want brooder babies. Babies raised by a good broody are the best! Head on over to Ideal Poultry (they're in Cameron, TX) and get you some of them dang salmon faverolles they have!
My three - Doe, Ray, Mi - are currently rotating like this: Go broody, hatch, wait till your chicks are 3 months old, go broody again. And the dang things are doing it in order.... Doe, Ray, Mi, Doe, Ray......
Doe is the best of the broodies. My silkie Jethro? She's a ditz. Wanna know how much of a ditz? She's raising 3 store bought polish chicks. Polish are supposed to be the nitwits of the chicken world. Everybody's learning a new pop door today. Jeth's polish chicks were running in and out of it all day long, they had no problem with it. Their mother however had to be shown repeatedly (like 30 times!) how to use the pop door. What does that say about Jethro's intelligence when she can be outsmarted by a 2 week old polish???
Meanwhile Jethro's other chick, Uno the Imp chick, is standing outside in the cold and dark with her mom. What do we do now Mom? Someone moved the door!
Jethro
