This Did Not Go According to Plan

Very cute! I am waiting impatiently for one of mine to go broody. They are a year old now, surely it's time?? -Wendy

Oh yeah. Inky's not even a year old yet, and this is NOT the first time she's gone broody. When she was about five months old she took over the raising of some ten week old guineas whose foster chicken mommy got eaten by a coyote. This winter she went broody hardcore, but my rooster wasn't even "doing the deed" yet, if you know what I mean. I had to break her then because I couldn't find any fertile eggs to set. The very first warm spell we had this spring, *BAM* she was on that nest again. You hang in there. One of your girls will go broody!

That is so cute! Heck it worked out better than planned lol, except for you getting attacked of course

wow that's so cute! I think she really just wanted those babies that were missing! lol She's so maternal! That's great if you ever need a good brooder. I guess just make sure you set the chicks down and run next time!
