STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!

[gritsar]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I believe I have a broody!!!!!

One of my darks got on the nestbox last night when I went out to lock them up. She got off the nest just long enough this morning to grab a piece of bread and went right back to it.

I'm staying away from the coop as much as possible today and if she's still sticking, I'll plan to move her tomorrow night. Does that sound like a plan?
I know what my roo is capable of, since he already has seven children living in another state.

I am quietly celebrating with you.

Yay!! I know how excited I was when my hen went broody! That was a learning lesson, for sure! (Just b/c I didn't seperate her on time, etc)

I'll keep my fingers crossed that yours stays broody!!

 

[thechickenchick]

I have my fingers crossed for you!!!

How cool!

I'm kind of superstitious like you, but if she's made up her mind, there's not much that is going to jinx her off that nest!

Good luck and have fun!!!

Grits, I'm not paying one iota of attention to your announcment. (Crossing fingers...)

Cross them toes too Buff. I want a broody so bad!!! (I didn't say that!)

Sounds promising! I'd move her at night so she will be sitting in her new location all night and be less likely to move or snap out of it in the a.m.

Cyn, should I move her tonight? I'm worried that if I leave her there another day one of her bossy sisters will run her off. Brigid has already been in the coop yelling out at her this morning.
