Shes just an old" barnyard mix" but shes a setting machine.




Shes 4 years old this summer and has hatched off 7 nests of chicks. She actually has set 8 times. They got broke up by somethng so i bought her some chicks that she raised.

She started hatching yesterday eve and has 4 so far this morning.
She sat on the nest through sub zero weather and her eggs have still hatched. Shes quite a momma she has earned her keep for sure.

( i like bym but some chicken peole are kinda snobby) i sell mostly purebreds but to me an eggs an egg

I miss having chicken then the sky carp fly over and it reminds me of all the birds I lost to the flue they carry they got my neighbor the last time only his ducks survived it.

Looks like she has some wyandotte in her. My game fowl hens are pretty good mommas at protecting chicks. Most broody goes to some silkies I have had though

No name for that "setting machine"?

they are all snobby because , what would they argue about and judge by if there wasn't a book of breed standards.

they would have to come up with tests like most chicks hatched out , largest eggs , number of eggs in 365 days

with standards in a book they have something they can easily judge based on a look

You get to braggin' too much on that hen and Jerry's gonna get jealous.

Nice hin vut yo7r typnig is worse th3n coonman.

Hard to read ain't it?

Currently, all the most popular named varieties of brown egg layers in the US are crosses and don't breed true. If an animal does what it's bred to do, that's most of what you need out of it.

Not really.

Its called code.lol

I put her in a pen with her babies and took the rest of the eggs in and put em in the incubator. So far ive hatched 3 more..theyre goung under the hen tonight.

I always put the eggs that dont hatch out under my hens in the incubator and i have good luck hatching them.
Inhate to think of em dying in their shells and sometimes hens steal their nests out and the eggs are laid a few days aapart

Tiagard will cure bird flu

I dont care for silkies

Henny penny or pain in the butt..depending on the situation..she likes to get into things.lol

I surely dont wanna ruffle HIS feathers.lol

I agree.

I hatched 4 nore chicks in the incubator and gave then to her. She has accepted them all
