Well I started my incubator last night to get it stable. And was going to collect eggs the next three days. Well when I went to collect more eggs today a hen wouldn't get off the nest. It seems I have another broody! haha Everytime I decide to incubate, a hen goes broody. Oh well. Perfect timing. If she is still broody tomorrow and looks dependable, I will just slip my collected eggs under her. And start in a few days myself. Broodies always have better luck than me.
I am sooo excited to have another broody Brahma. Last year a broody brahma was the most wonderful mother. She would let us touch and move her, and play with her babies. She would take such good care of them. We lost her to racoons after she 3rd batch.
This year a Buff Orp went broody, she bit and growled everytime you tried to feed her or anything. She never left the nest once. She was cranky and once they hatched she was a terrible mother and always left them behind.
But now a sweet little brahma is nesting again! Hurray! I already looked under her and petted, and fed her. Perfectly friendly, didn't even hiss or snap. Aw how I love my brahmas. Unlike my Buff Orps. Gr. Despite what others say about how great Buffs are, mine are rotton. lol
