Eglantine
Hi, my name is Eglantine I'm a pretty good broody sitting on my second batch of eggs. as you can see in the picture I'm a red color. also I'm a bantam cochin. Right now I am sitting on my second batch of eggs. the other hens keep eating my eggs ( including my most important eggs that the Girls put under me to hatch) so I am worried that none will hatch but I hope so.

"AAAAAHHH oh your not here to put me back on my nest great. wait what are you here for? to lock me up? to take me away? to imprison me?''..... (director's cut) "Otulissa you where going to be telling me about your self remember I told you yesterday."..( back to Otulissa) "oh right um well my broody story is that I WAS IMPRISONED!" ...( director's cut in ) "No no no no Otulissa like your name and breed."....( back to normal ) "Ok ok well um I'm a uh what was I oh yeah my breed is Chicken and I Was IMPRISONED!" ...( directors cut in ) " ok let ME tell you the really story it all started the day SHE decided to brood. I keep chasing her of the nest because I knew that she wouldn't want to finish brooding, but she was persistent and kept getting back on the nest. so I put her in a dog kennel ( I like to put my broodies in a dog kennel ), gave her eggs to hatch, and moved her into a difrent coop. then after 2 days she wanted off I keep putting her back on the nest everyday. ugg it was awful but she left the nest after 21 days sadly she didn't hatch any chicks
