Thank you! Yes you call me WMR and I can see I'm definitely NOT going to be able to keep up, so I apologize in advance if I miss any posts and will kindly request a PM if someone wanted to get a hold of me.

I'm sure I WILL love my new babies BUT I have to hatch them first! Haha that's the hard part! I'm sure I will have a TON of questinos!

I did it once and stuck them under her an hour or so before they woke up. Oh, and I gave her dummy eggs to sit on a few weeks before. Just watch her closely at first to make sure she's taking care of them and not hurting them.


Pekins. Pretty white ducks. Huge pretty white ducks.

Pekins! Perfect. JUMBO Pekins!!!

Anything I should know? I'm going to assume they should be in a secure pen so the other birds won't try to attack the babies.

Broody is waiting on a nest in the "hospital/broody breaker" area. Normally we break them but my bosses are keeping this one's hopes up for me.

I'd keep them togather alone for a day or two, and then don't put them in with the big flock at all. If you have an area just for them for a few weeks, even better.

How many eggs do you have? If you have enough, slip a few of them with some dummy eggs under her. If she hatches a few too she'll be more likely to take them I think.

Does being called swedish flower hens give swedish flower hen roosters a complex?

that's a very good question.

I sold 5 of my silkie chickens yesterday, and I kept three of them. The blue, the gray and a white one. I love them. They are walking all over me, kissing my neck and pecking at my lips.
