What did you do with your flock today?

Oh.my goodness everyone is so lively this fine Saturday!
@GG your hens are spoiled for choice and are picture perfect. I am glad you thought of me with your chooks in the carrier and or in the nest box. I totally thought of me too! 😂 oh my goodness your orps!!! :love

Speaking of pictures lol @John_Lofgren Bravo. Chicken photos are no easy task. Bribing only creates a frenzy. Beautiful flock, beautiful cold country. Keep practicing ♡ send ice cubes West!

@kurby lol. Chickens crack me up. I had the longest hatch ever because I was up Koke'e and left my DH 2 bb hens and a roo and one went broody while the other kept laying on top of her. After day 24 I grabbed the remaining eggs and put in incubator so she did not have to deal with such a long hatch. Poor babies ♡♡♡ such good girls.

Oh! And I had monster broody sisters. They would hide their eggs in the bushes cuz I kept stealing their eggs. My one was so bad she started stealing snail shells. When I found her hiding spot she had about 3-4 snail shells. She was so sad... ☹ broke my heart to break her that time. Chickens are FUNNY!

@PJ your a rock star! ☆☆☆☆☆ I cleaned out AJs storage an she has a bunch of old totes. Now, there is a use b4 I give away!

Spoiled for choice....understatement of the week. LOL. 34 chickens. 30 of which are hens...well, only 23 are laying so far. So I guess 7 are still technically pullets. 15 official nest boxes set up between the two coops and two in the run. So...yeah....ever so slightly overkill on the choices. 🙄 And yet, you may remember a couple of months ago, I found a nest of half a dozen eggs under a bush out in the front yard. 🤦‍♀️

The story of your broody collecting snails ... made me want to hug her. ❤

Chickens ARE funny 😆 It does make you feel so sad when they’re so determined and dedicated, but so funny! Well I feel better about letting her go longer-ish. I have no idea how to introduce day olds to a broody so I’ll have to look into that! Might put some that are developing in the incubator at some point! I don’t want all that hard work to be wasted!
 
Happy Sunday!

He is such an incredible boy. Worth the efforts.
So, @ kurby are you going to let your hen sit and hatch and then what does not hatch after 20+++ days you will candle and put it your bator?
I’m going to let her try! I’m going to candle them tonight and maybe take some of the clearly empty ones so she can focus on the ones left—she has at least 10 eggs under her even though I gave her 5 😆
