where have you been?!

Last night DH and I removed the "so called" fertile eggs from Penelope and put her in this crate. There were only 7 eggs left and nothing was happening to any of them...it has been over 21 days. She has been looking very weak and hasn't been eating enough, so enough of this broodiness. She's in the yard area by the chick house for now. As you can see, some of the reds were filling her in on the latest gossip. lol

one happy hen...

unless you try and take her eggs she is sitting on! Penelope has been broody for over a month now...she is obsessed with being a Mother! Yesterday, Kris brought home some fertile eggs from A&M's poultry science department. It takes around 21 days for an egg to hatch, so that should be sometime around the 5th of August...I can't wait to see how many eggs actually hatch...she is sitting on 12.
