Fuzztop on nest!


Fuzztop on nest!

Fuzztop has gone broody for the first time. Since I am now left with two hens I decided to procure hatching eggs. This time I ordered a few out of Schertz, Texas though Ebay. We'll see what happens the weekend of May 1st. Fuzztop is not sitting on the eggs the way Ducky did. Why does this amaze me? I guess because it's just more evidence that they are all individuals and it's something I find so exciting on a daily basis.

I have a decision to make, should I raise this flock or leave it all to Fuzztop? I did notice the difference between Gen1 and Gen2. Hand raised is the way to go if you want to bond with your birds. At the same time, Twinkie was not hand raised but so super smart and tuned into me.
