Broodies on the Homestead

[sumi]

My broody went to stay with the gypsies yesterday, along with a few others in my flock. I hope they will take good care of them.

Miss Lydia, that is a lovely pic and your box full of cute stuff too, Hinotori



I will enjoy you all's chicks until I can hatch some for myself again.

Hopefully that will be soon Sumi

Ahhhhhh so cute!!

I love a good broody!

Wow, how neat. I haven't had anything like that happen, but it's really cool!

We hit sales when we can and take advantage of discounts the stores give. Just got Flockraiser for $14 a bag during a sale. The better food definitely runs more at regular prices.

Do EE's sell well in your area? I've actually had some luck selling chicks. Several times I've sold 'em as itty bitty chicks for $5.00... not too bad when they haven't eaten a bunch of feed at only a few days old.

It doesn't sound bad at all. You have enough on your plate and I'm leaning towards them just being a PITA personally. I know you take good care of your livestock.

She sounds like a good hen and she's gorgeous. I wish one of mine would go broody for me. Though I'd have to get eggs from elsewhere for them to hatch. I don't have a cockbird any more.
