RE: I've Got A Broody Hen! And Other Chicken Nonsense.
No? Darn! There's still time! Haha. I hope that I didn't wait to long to give her eggs. There's still hope! Haha. I hope! I am thankful she's not terribly mean, I have heard some horror stories! How do you usually hatch chicks? I am happy to be doing it "naturally" with my broody hen! Though I do have an incubator as well!
I do both as well. I also love colored eggs. Here is a picture of one of my incubators from last summer with my fun colored eggs.

OOOH, your olive eggs are awesome!! Did you breed them or buy them? What an amazing array of colors! I am envious! WHat breeds do you have?
Do you do any breeding projects?
I breed them. It was fun. I used Black Copper Marans and Crested Cream Legbars. I used to breed both breeds and keep an olive egger pen, but this year, I didn't do any breeding. I lost my CCB rooster over the winter and I had some other things going on, so my chicken numbers and activities are down. :)
I would love to read some detailed posts from you on breeding projects! It's something I'm interested in doing but it feels a bit overwhelming with all the jumbled info that's out there!
