picked up a broody hen from grandmas and she was settin on some eggs so im thinkin ill put some EE eggs in a nestbox and see what she does...
this morning we woke up to the current broody hen attacking the other hen thru the cage! I think it was determined that crazy's cage should stay closed...lol right now Crazy is setting 3games, 3yokohamas, 2full EE, and an EEx

by attacking a caged hen? honestly ive been thinking about eatin crazy! then DW told me shes off the menu....

Maybe Crazy will inspire the other hens to brood? Then when she had done her job she can have just one bad day.
