Thistlewick Smallholding - Chickens & Sheep (for now)

[thistlewick]

She's gorgeous.... I have comb issues also in my flock, but it's a real easy fix.

What are the 3 under her? Looks like you gotta thorn in between 2 roses ...

bwhahahahaha!!

I put eggs from all our other chickens under her, so she has 8 babies that are mixes from Chuck, our Easter Egger Rooster and Cream Legbar, Easter Egger, Starlight Green Egger, Sapphire Gem, Wyandotte (dunno which one) and 1!! Copper Maran, Sophia -- by the time Tilly was good and broody she hadn't laid an egg in awhile.

Oh also just news today;

I haven't had an egg from Sophia in a week. She isn't broody (though she looks like she's *thinking* about it possibly) and I only got 6 eggs today.

Is it time I went nest hunting?
