Broody Jail

"So Whatcha In For?"

I've had sooo many broodies again this year... right now I have 10, so I decided to break 4 of em. I have 3 bantams sittin on a nest of 5 bantam eggs, Mabel sittin on a nest of 4 eggs & a broody in my big coop that I plan on givin her some silkie eggs I've been collecting this week.

Heres a hen I broke last year: Nutmeg

Old MacDonald Had A Farm, ee-i-ee-i-o

And on that farm she had a BROODY, ee-i-ee-i-o,

With a bawk here and a bawk, bawk there

Here a bawk, there a bawk, everywhere a bawk, bawk

Old MacDonald had a farm, ee-i-ee-i-o.

* My Goodness I have had so many broodies this spring/summer... 10 to be exact! We've been gone all day and when we got home I went out to feed, water, collect eggs and found these 3 in The Hillbilly Hen House, they each have 1 egg under them. Now I put Chicken Noodle (1 of our BO roosters) in with them a couple weeks go, so I'm hoping they're gonna hatch out pure Buff Orpingtons.

Bawk, Bawk............
(Hummm, I wonder if these 2 are gonna stay in the same next box?)
