if you want to move her, you're going to have to confine her until she knows where her nest is supposed to be...
I don't have any yet, but mine are a little over 3 mo now, when they breed I'll post pics of the babies. All my SFH are crested, so should be interesting to see the babies. I plan to add a few non crested later on.i just noticed today, my blue sfh girl has some red/buff 'bleed thru' on her neck and chest... so she's not solid blue but a bit of a mix.
she's gonna be purty. 8) all 4 are doing well. i'm wondering if anyone's had any chicks from crested-crested breedings? what do the crests look like?
oh and i moved my broodies last night... this morning when i went out they were both out eating/drinking and digging in the pen...
they go back to the nests i made for them. chicks are due friday and i'd rather not have 500 babies in the house.
ok, maybe not THAT many, but it'll seem like it once my sandhill order gets here in 2 weeks... on top of the 20 i've got now, 40+ eggs in lockdown, and more that's been set, etc.
Quote: well, these guys are about the same age as yours... and i've got 3 babies hatched out last week too. plus maybe 1 or 2 more if bulldogma decides to toss them my way.
Experienced people correct me if I am wrong , but the red in the legs to my understanding is a sign that they are fertile and ready for breeding
that entirely depends on what genetics are behind the hen and rooster...

the answer is officially
if you get 2 or 3 the same color, then maybe. if you get 30 or 40 the same color, then yeah probably (but not guaranteed!)
