Ah, don't ever worry about that, dating oneself is a wonderful thing, we lived through the best of the best
. I am 60 in October, and don't give a hoot about dating myself -- I toot it to the world --
and I full well remember the outhouse at my Grandma's and the pee pails inside the house to take to the outhouse
. Oops, ramblin' off the topic.
Broodiness, I got too much of it going on. All my buff orpingtons are brooding. The fourth gal decided she was broody for like a month, never once sat on an egg, but pretended she was I think. I think that was to keep the rooster uninterested, but really, it didn't work. She is now back laying eggs (she had stopped laying for a couple of weeks). Want some buff orpington eggs that guaranteed will go broody as hens, smiling that big smile. How about cochins, got two now, and I am sure there will be like 7 more that are doin' that thing. Want some cochin eggs from gals that just want to be mammas and that's all they want to do, smiling that big smile. Just kidding. But ya, think that there is a whole lotta broody hen genes goin' on here, could be good, could be bad, depends on how you look at it. Babies comin' out my ears here, all over the place, gotta get those pics into my thread on the broodies, smiling. Beautiful topic that has meandered all over the map. Have beautiful days, CynthiaM.
