#broody #silky hasn't come out of this box for a few days. I don't she has had any food or water... She might increase our number of
#backyardchickens . I'm curious if she can hatch any eggs the first time around. If everything goes well and an egg hatches it will be fun to guess who's seed was used to fertilize the egg. In _Why did the Chicken Cross The World_ Andrew Lawler explains that the hens can store sperm for a month. So this weeks eggs might just barely be able to have half their DNA from Chuckarine the
#Cochin .... Lawler's book was great, it talked about a society that chose to empower everybody, including women, by becoming more decentralized by rejecting large-scale cows for small-scale chickens...
