Deb, I'd bet I have at least 55-60 broody silkies and seramas; might be more. I found a chick in the 5 month old silkie pen today. They are not sorted by colors so I was relieved to see it was a big knobbed partridge with perfect feet. It's fussing in the brooder tub because it is by itself. If it keeps this up I may have to run out and grab and broody to take care of it/shut it up. Have to work bright and early.

Sigh! I have FOUR broody hens! 2 hens are sitting on the same nest with a whole pile of eggs. The other chickens just lay their eggs on top of them, I guess. I don't know what I'm gonna do! If all these eggs hatch out, we're going to be up to our ears in Modern games! And we have been trying to cut back!!
