So, I wander out to the girls this afternoon, looking for some eggs. I am met with "errrrrrrrr grrrrrrrrrr" and a HUGLY puffed up BO named Lovey. I fell backwards out of the house and almost landed on poor nervous Diva.

I suspected she was going broody when her hackles went up yesterday when I went into the hen house. I had NO clue "broody" looked so darned scary. She let me reach under her, and there's 2 eggs under there-one must belong to someone else, and I felt so bad for her I just left them there. What do I do now? She hasn't moved all day!

I'm not at all certain I needed this today, but heck-here it is. Do you think I should get her fertilized eggs to hatch, or will she just stop at some point?

On a lighter note.......
My rescue silkie "Brooklyn" laid her first egg! Nice brown tint. 2 days in a row.
She is still living inside with us (vacationing in a pen outside on nice days)but hopefully that changes this week. She is a sweet bird and I am so glad we adopted her.

Enjoy the sun if you have some today!

Oh my, broodiness is so much fun! Not. You could totally get her eggs to hatch, or put chicks under her in the nighttime.

SQUEE! I have babies!!!

Three little Ameraucanas named Hershey, Phyllis and Mabel. I have a brooder pen set up in an extra-large portable dog kennel (the kind with solid sides and bottom).
I was planning to keep them in the garage but that big grump of a husband I have insisted they would be too cold so they're actually in the corner of my living room. I caught him snuggling one and singin to it earlier. Lord knows I can't tell out mutual friends but you guys are fair game.

1st step of my chicken journey has been taken!

I'd say if your husband is singing to the chicks, you're a lot farther along on your chicken journey than the first step!
