Here they are 11 beautiful babies
 
DH came up with a good idea. We have a fairly big dog carrier, about 30 x24 x20. Going to turn it into a brooder cage for our sebright. I think it will work and she will have more room than her nest box. Just hope she will accept it and not freak out when we move her. Must do something to stop the big hens from laying their eggs in her nest. Guess they are taking the easy way out...get someone else to brood their eggs, while they play all day.
 
I hope our "hen" ladies and MsJellybean are ok. There was some bad weather up north earlier today. Haven't seen them visit here today. It's suppose to be cold for a couple of nights Monday and Tuesday nights near freezing for me. Mom says we always get a cold snap before Easter but it sure is late to get that cold. Gonna be running the heat lamps for certain.
 
We had some rain but nothing terrible. MsJellybean is down the street from me. I could literally walk there lol.
Hope it doesnt get too cold.. :/
The rain was bad enough. We "need" it, but its inconvenient when your trying to move furniture in lol
Lisaterrell those chicks are super cute!

Nice...so you get to sample her goodies.

Ewww...moving? Or new furniture? Either way rain is not good!

So glad I will never have to move again. I'll be roosting right here til the end.

I used a medium sized dog carrier with great success. Even now, the broody will go lay an egg in the carrier if the door is open, so I guess SHE really liked it too!!

It is a great way to keep broody and eggs safe.
