Wow, when one Silky hen goes broody, they all must.    I have buff orpington's broody and silky's broody.  I'm not real sure how many buff's are on nest, they free range and hide there eggs out.  The kids love finding there nest.  And I have 5 broody silkies.  They are on turkey eggs.  My turkey hen hasn't went broody, but those silkies have and I took the turkey eggs and placed under them.  I also have turkey eggs in the bator, so hopefully, in a few week's we'll have baby turk's running around here.  It is a good thing that I put away 15 dozen eggs in the freezer this past month and 8 dozen the month before that.  Cause we're not getting many eggs right now. 

I also found out what the kids are calling the little male goat.  They have named him Buck.  It is kinda fitting to him after spending some time watching him.  LOL  And here I thought they named him Duke which would also be fitting a Nubain male.  Anyway, Penelope is just a beautiful little girl, and hopefully in a couple of years, she'll make a dandy milk goat just like her mother.

That's about it for right now.

Many Blessings,
