The broody chicken thing is not going so good, there were 2 other chickens trying to sit on the eggs, someone else laid another egg in that nest that no one has used for over 6 weeks and Miss Broody was sitting on another next that had 2 eggs. I moved the other 2 chickens and did not enjoy all the biting they were doing and put Miss Broody back on the eggs. The other 2 chickens who were on the eggs when I first went out starting to get her off the nest and then they was a little hen fight going on. When I left them things had settled down but I'm not sure this is going to work. It was much easier to listen to her cry when i took the eggs everyday than to go through this.
The 3 chickens and 1 turkey (one in front) in their new huge home for about 4 weeks and then they will go outside. |
All huddled up in the shade eating grass. |

Thank you for sharing your baby crib brooder. I have a crib, so, I anticipate this very use for it when the chicks outgrow their current storage bin brooder!
