I've had such good luck with them this year, i got cocky. :D

Last weekend, she was out for her feeding break so i checked all the eggs she had. Some were further along than others, so i left the furthest ones with her, and the others were given to my chocolate orps. since then, she gathered 2 more eggs! I just went to check on her, and she's on the roost pole, not on the eggs, so I took the other 2 live ones and brought them inside. They may have another few days to hatch. I left the 2 new eggs, figure if she gets back on those tomorrow, there's more chance that i can trade them for any chicks I might hatch.
Oh well, it's not like I *need* any more chicks :lol:

What's more fitting than a prison on a wedding anniversary? :lau

We did find a nice little hole-in-the-wall local bar/restaurant place for dinner afterwards. He had ribs, I had an awesome bacon burger! :drool

Yep. I've done all I can. She has chosen the hard path. I did make her pay me 250 for the car. . and she was supposed to pay another 250 when she got on her feet. Not because I care about money but I wanted her to have something invested of her own so she would take it seriously. Do you all think I should make her pay the other 250 still or just let it go? We can't go get the car to even scrap it. Would cost more to get there than what we would get from it. Gonna let the parents of the boy scrap it for payment to bring her home.

Wow! That's SO STRESSFULL! Sorry! I say a deal is a deal & she's an adult, therefore she should pay it. (I want to cry when I bankrupt my kids in Monopoly tho, so maybe not take advice from me.:oops::lau) Good luck whatever you decide! :hugs

Oh, i blew it. :he
Checked on my broody bantam cochin and she had an external pip under her, but the chick was dead. I think the other girls have been knocking her off the nest the last few days, they just started laying again (of course!) So I moved her and she got off the eggs. This one had internally pipped and was cold. I had no idea how long, so i went ahead with the assist. I tried putting her back on the other eggs, I'll go check her again in a bit.

I remember what someone once said to me when I blew it with a broody Call and her ducklings... we're only human, dear... :hugs

How long should I let a broody hen sit for before I start kicking her out of the coop?
