The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[bantambury]

Well if it's any consolation, I don't have anything but a couple of lazy chicks. Nothing even close to a brooder! But I think I may purchase an incubator. I've been researching....my husband may just throw me out. He specifically told me- do not become the crazy chicken teacher at school! I think it may be too late!

well you see, haha, I kinda sorta made my math teacher obsessed with chickens. LOL

when I hatched in the NYD HAL I had told her I was to be getting silkies. once they hatched I showed her this pic of one:

her name is Timothy.

my math teacher began insisting on me emailing her pictures whenever we had weekend breaks or such. then I got her hooked on chickens.
now she wants to come over to my house one weekend to meet timothy. LOL

my mom came to my school the other day to drop off something I left for a project. my math teacher pulled her over and said: "your daughter had gotten me obsessed with those chickens as much as she is! I just love timothy!"

HAHAHAHAHHAHA now my nickname she calls me is chick chick and I call her mama hen.

hahahha! unless you want a nice constant broody, this breed isn't the best of my flock!

marshie like I said is broody again and she is now 11 months old. pooie. my mom claims she wants more laying chickens.....well she had two but now its down to 1 again. marshie was just broody 1.5 months ago!!!! she wants to get rid of her because she claims she isn't doing any good. Im planning on keeping her.....

I'm sorry your hen did not cooperate. You could have given her eggs yesterday though and they would have still counted. Even if your eggs don't count for the total, you can still hatch with us.

Quote: I hear ya!! I first got chickens just over 3 years ago. My DH built a mini coop and mini pen. We just finished a 12x20 coop for 4 hens and are planning a bigger coop. My DH said that he didn't think that my love of chickens would last.

I guess I fooled him!! I have 7 eggs under my broody!!
