I guess I should catch her and check out the under feathers to see if there are any saddle feathers coming in to know for sure. They are around 3 months old. I didn't mark it down on my phone when they hatched so I am guesstamating lol

Well coop production has come to a halt. I got a splinter under my finger nail and thought i got it all out but not infected.... urgh. I want to finish the coop.
Well I couldn't catch Pete last night. I had hoped he would have figured out how to get back but I guess not. Have not seen him today and there's some feathers on the other side of the fence. Dang it. I am going to handle the next batch of chicks to prevent this. Lesson learned.
This morning my Easter egger hen that I hatched out this year cock a doodle dooed in my face this morning. I am heart broken. Was looking forward to another Easter egger hen. "Her" 2 brothers both have pointed saddle feathers and she didn't show any and I was so hopeful that she was a she. Well it looks like 3 more chickens will be going to freezer camp.
Yikes! Soak it in hydrogen peroxide! Works wonders for infections.
. Hope he shows up instead.
That stinks, nothing like having you heart set and no results.
Day 20, no peeps yet, my broody us holding tight to her nest....

Yay for broodies. You will have some peeps soon My broody just hatched out 3 little ones, 2 eggs didn't hatch and one egg went missing. Of course the egg I wanted to hatch went missing, the only silkie egg she was sitting on.
I have a serious, stubborn broody that I just can't break. She's been in the broody breaker for at least 2 weeks. I've tried letting her out a few times and she just makes a beeline straight back to the nest box :/ I don't have room for anymore babies right now!
