The Sullivan Six

Well, I thought Lady Amalthea was just kidding about the whole broody thing, but then she changed her mind. I thought she was gonna eat my fingers when I got her off the nest to put her in the broody buster! On the bright side, having the top hen in broody jail seems to have made integration easier for Apollo.

I love how fierce she looks!

Poor Marcille is definitely molting

All that rage-y fluff!

Lady Amalthea is officially no longer broody!

Poor Marcille is molting hard right now. Paprika is also molting, but I only know because I haven't seen any brown eggs this week. If you look closely she's missing a few saddle feathers and a couple of tail feathers.

It seems Apollo is a fully integrated member of the flock!

I have thoroughly enjoyed your whole thread and your beautiful chickens! Can’t wait for more pics and updates

The Lady Amalthea has returned...to laying eggs.

Limu.

Broodiest chicken I've ever had! She's going on three days now and as soon as I let her out of broody jail she's right back on the nest

Also, it's so hot here. I went to put the chickens to bed tonight and I could  hear Apollo panting from the garage door! She sounded a little wet, so I'm worried about her. I did turn the fan on and hung a wet washcloth in front of it hoping for an impromptu swamp cooler.
