I had two roosters, one batch of hens with one rooster, had chicks, the other hens with the other rooster, showed no interest. When I took that rooster aside to a holding pen, the other hens started getting broody.

Bet he'll make some mighty fine steaks very soon. :)<br />Will you be using him to stock your freezer or selling him?<br /><br />Sorry to hear about the broody/hatching problems. I've had very good luck with our Japanese Silky. She's hatched out two batches of chicks and was a very protective mother, too. She isn't the greatest egg layer, though, but she would sit on a clutch of eggs or chicks through a blizzard and forget to eat or take care of herself before she'd let anything happen to her eggs or chicks. She wants nothing more than to sit on eggs all day. lol!<br /><br />Oh and Silkies are wonderful chickens, very sweet and gentle and lovely to look at, too.<br /><br />~Lisa<br /><br />word verification: glums<br /><br />Don't feel all glums. chin up! :)Laughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168836608028788365.post-77499509855041270612011-03-09T14:47:44.722-06:002011-03-09T14:47:44.722-06:00Woo hoo...I have another blogger from Texas...I am...Woo hoo...I have another blogger from Texas...I am visiting from over at Vickie's place {Sand flat Farms}.

I like steaks, too.

Man, that little (?) calf ya'll are feedin' out is rather rambunctious, isn't he!

How sad to loose a baby. A buff hen can brood close to ten eggs so she may have a few more viable eggs under her. <br /><br />Good luck,<br />MalNekkid Chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749417208223478262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168836608028788365.post-56588340718074501142011-03-06T17:39:20.127-06:002011-03-06T17:39:20.127-06:00Dear Berte, I don't know a thing about chicken...Dear Berte, I don't know a thing about chickens or cows, but I just wanted you to know I dropped by to check on you.
