When mine go broody I just let them be, I quit trying to break them... with all these silkies it is too big of a hassle. They just quit when they are ready, they get skinny and pale but when they have had enough they jump off and start eating again. I have never had one get sick or die from being broody, which actually surprises me because they really don't get much food or water, they are stubborn. But they seem to know when enough is enough.

I have babies hatching. First time in a while, fun. I have some of Brandi's little eggs in there, they will be a silkie/frizzle mix, or silkie. Plus I have some from another neighbor. And, some from ebay, I thought I was going to have these for the HAL..but..I got them too early? What was I thinking?? I have no idea. Now, I have some that were set on time too. Going to have a lot of babies, because I have a lot of pips just in this first hatch. :/ Will be giving babies away soon if anyone is interested in either really good egg layers, or cute little frizzles. I will be keeping some, but I can't keep them all.

Had a pretty interesting week here in the sun. my daughter in law had a death in the family so she had to go to Venezuela. i was in charge of my two grandsons ages 7 and 9 for two weeks. I had forgotten how hard it was tp raise kids. my son got them up and took them to school. I picked them up. Took them to swim tam Karate. over saw homework baths laundry disheres etc. needless to say I am exhausted. L ast Wed me as I was turning into school another mother hit me. I was in my daughters car. It was the other ladies fault. Then on Friday we were going to their leggo store to but their christmas present some one else hit us, This time I was in my car. Back end was pretty wrecked. Not sure if I have a sigh on me that says hit me hit me. I have some bad whip lash kids are fine though. Interesting, the are leaving tomorrpw tp gp to utah to spend christmas with the other relatives. Merry Christmas everyone

Oh my goodness! Nothing more, nothing more. I hope you can relax now that it's just you and your husband.

Merry Christmas to you..take it easy!
I think the babies that I am hatching just may have some of that roo that was yours that Brandi has now. I saw him mate a silkie! She says he goes for everyone that won't run. lol...Man he's pretty now.

I agree with you. With how many silkie hens I have now, there's going to be alot going to be broody next year and its just too much to deal with so im just going to leave it be, and let nature do its thing.

Sundance! Ack! No more accidents, please. People are NUTS at this time of the year. I just about had someone take the back end off my car in a parking lot the other day. Good thing I was watching, because they weren't. Sheesh! Stay safe. I'm sorry about the whiplash Good grief, nothing says Merry Christmas like that, eh?

What a day yesterday and last night.

Had 18 babies hatch out of 19 that went into lock down. Who needs some chicks.

I have a few picked out that I want to keep already.

Pics!?

Actually I got the numbers wrong..19 out of 20 that went into lock down..who wants chicks? Come on...
This is my favorite little fuzzy footed one..and it's blue.


My favorite LF, and I think it's a girl, there is a boy that has more silver than this one, so
it's probably a boy, but the comb and wings on this one says girl so far. Can't see that
it's silver in this photo!

A lot of chicks..one baby didn't make it today, and it hatched on it's own. :/
