Cubalaya's are excellent broodies and mothers......just saying

they are also light weight and can tolerate the heat well.

Ooh After seeing all the beautiful choices I will try to add a few fancy ones if I get the opportunity. I like to have a broodie hen raise chicks. I have never added an adult hen to the flock and I don't plan on having roosters unless I move to unrestricted acres. I do not plan on moving. I moved 4 times in 4 years. I am done.

I hope I'm done moving as we'll. it's too stressful when you are single. Nearly jumped off a tall building when I moved 2 1/2 yrs ago. I don't want a roo but I'd really like a couple of exotics, but they don't lay as well as more normal one. Y'all are terrible at enabling!

Is this the snake charmer?

Oh yeah, that's the snake charmer. Nowadays, the only thing he is charming is me, hehe! He's a total cutie and he's super curious. Every time I enter the room, he perks up and demands attention. I'm just glad that he hasn't succumbed to any illnesses that may have been passed from the snakes.

I was certain I would have no roos.  No, no, no, no--NO Roos.  None.  I currently have six.  SIX!!!  Two Ameraucanas are beautiful and deserve to be shown and bred.  Two are ugly Wheaten Ameraucanas that haven't been troublesome enough to over come my incredible list of plausible excuses to avoid processing them.  Another, a Silkie, is ugly but doesn't cause any trouble at all, so why should he be killed?  The last is my pathetic double-copy frizzle (some call them curlies or frazzles) who is just too pathetic to get rid of.  Instead of processing him, I am in the process of buying him two very good show quality and fairly expensive pullets from two of the more important Cochin exhibitors and breeders in the US.  There is something very wrong with me.

I think whatever is wrong with you is seriously contagious.

My Buff Orpingtons are great Mom's too. I am hoping one will get broodie in the Spring. They are over 3 years old. Miss Priss, who has always been at the top of the pecking order has never gone broodie.

These are 3 of my four turtles. One is at school. They got a new aquarium Thursday when I hit their other one on the corner of the counter as I was going to clean it. This one is super huge. Squirt is up by the front glass and franklin and crush are on the rock basking in the fake sun.

Love the turtle's names.
