I think I'm gonna try and sell some of my MFD and the main ones I want to sell are NOT broody.. But one or two are.

Ugg you tempt me so bad!! I'm not allowed to get anymore chickens so good luck

To the charcoal and lighter fluid question ... I have a full bag of charcoal but am not sure about the lighter fluid.

Does anybody else ever feel like punching their dog in the face? I just sowed/planted a 24 sq ft bed and a 8 squares of herbs. In the pool yard. so, hot sun boncing off the cement = i was dying. About 20 minutes ago, my dog decided she needed to trample theough all of it.

She may need glasses if she didn't see the no trespassing sign! Beside that the fresh turned soil was cooler than that hot cement!

Maybe you accidentally planted poisonous plants and not actually herbs and your dog sensed this grievous error and protected you.

I have a turkey that has gone broody ... in one of the chicken nests. Almost her entire back half sticks out. Silly girl.

that reminds me of that woman I saw at the restaurant the other night sitting at a table on one of those small dinette style chairs...................


you can thank me for that visual on saturday

BAHAHAHAHA

just sold over half my AM chicks to a guy just up the road, will be bringing the others for feathersaloft on saturday

Do y'all think a broody hen would stay broody if moved to a new location? Like, if someone bought her? Depends on the bird I'm sure just curious if anyone has experience.

last fall I isolated them in one of my brooders for 3 days. I nick named that brooder "broody-no-more"

of course they all stopped laying not long after that, I think it was a protest of sorts

the neighbor who just bought the 6 chicks from me, is going to slip them under a broody that's been sitting on fake eggs the last few weeks. I asked him to keep me posted on how that worked out, I mean she's been sitting on eggs that haven't had anything going on inside, and now he's going to give her live chicks? Not sure how that's gonna work out.


on another note, today I ran an experiment by letting my 10 week old welsummers out with the big kids. there was the expected little bit of 'i'm boss over you' stuff, but for the most part, the big kids just wanted to crowd around the feeder with the chick feed in it. So for those of you who might mix your younguns a little sooner, what do you do about the feed situation? I'd like to go ahead and clear my in coop brooder as I'm going to be growing some out. I have a few friends who want them past the 'needs heat' stage and I don't want to keep that many inside. I have the broody mama in one of my brooders sitting on eggs to keep her separate. I was considering letting her raise them, but I really need to get her back to laying again asap

She should take them just fine. I've given chicks to a hen who sat on NO eggs and it was as if we'd given her her very own scratch silo.
