This is too cool, what an addiction!!!

One week one

another next week

Another next week

Another next week (now first one hatching)

now a JG went broody.

O and in the middle of those I had to break my silkies from going broody. (X3)

I've had just about all my Buff Orpingtons broody at once. ( I had around 30 or 50 then! LOL ) Plus a few bantams ...

But right now I only have 3 broody.

I have five and they all started within a couple of weeks of each other.

BA #1 Sitting on 17 of her own eggs--little stinker hid her nest.
EE #1 Hatched out 8 chicks a week and a half agod, great little mamma.
BA #2 Sitting on 11 Rouen duck eggs, saw two fuzzies this morning, hoping for more to come.
BO--Gave her 4 EE chicks last night. She's a complete witch to me, but LOVES having "her" babies.
EE #2 Sitting on shavings, but thinking about putting the other 6 Ruen eggs that are in the bator under her tonight.

Like women when they hang out together, eventually they're all on the same cycle!

I have had 6 this spring, out of 14.

the 4 banties have finally started laying again.

Truer words. Hah.

All of my game birds go broody at the same time. I had 20 hens on the nest, two hatching on the front porch, and so on and so forth for a month until everyone hatched out. I had 100 little chicks running around, I'm down to 20 thanks to predators. >< Ah well, I've seen flocks of 100 birds brooding at the same time.​
