Here is a photo of Onyx - our first broody hen. Onyx is a rumpless Araucana. She is sitting on 11 eggs. It's anyone's guess about the eggs. I collected the eggs just a few days after I re-homed several of our roosters. It should be interesting to see what chicks emerge. I hope that out of the 11 eggs, I get at least 3 or 4 pullets to add to our laying flock.
Yes - the nest box she is in is a modular storage box I got at Walmart. When I saw it, I knew it was perfect for a nest box - and it is!
Onyx doesn't look very happy that I'm taking her photo. At least I didn't disturb her by trying to get a photo of the eggs underneath her.
I'm going to look for some of those storage boxes next time I'm at Wally World. What a great idea! Happy Hatching! :)
