When I say I want a Broody Batman, I don't mean Broody as in "Byronic Hero" I mean Broody as in "Hen aggressively fluffed up over a clutch of eggs/chicks willing to fight god to protect them"
I want Batman to stand up and a dozen little legs to be spotted from beneath his hammer space logic of a cape.
I want someone to get to close to one of his little chicks and start making that demonic angry chicken noise.
I want him to sit in one spot and refuse to move come hell or high water because he's gotta make sure all his little ones are warm and safe from predators.
I want each bat-adoption to be there because Alfred slipped an orphaned child in need of a good home/parent under the cape like a farmer shoving day-old chicks under a hen that went Broody and is slowly starving herself to death trying to hatch unfertalized eggs.
No more of this standing on the ledge of a building with lowered head looking sad in the rain bad parent Brooding Batman. Only aggressively protective and good parent Batman.
I had this really old and cheap egg incubator I found at an antique store, from like 5+ years ago, that has just been collecting dust. Because I have so many hens who are usually broody enough to hatch eggs on their own. But a lot of my hens are getting old, so I finally wanted to try and see if the incubator worked. Also I just wanted a new batch of chicks lol.
Right now, there are 3 eggs in the incubator which were meant to be test eggs but they're all doing really really well. Additionally there's some more under my silkie brooders outside which are doing pretty good too.
The two week stretch is on the 23rd I think, and they are due to hatch around my birthday around the 31st.
Just a little comic based on a flash fiction I contributed to in the upcoming anthology, 99 Fleeting Fantasies. My story is, “Angel Season,” in which the celestial legions flock to Earth to nest, brood, and molt some miracles around the world while waiting on the next generation to flutter up to the clouds.

So I just noticed this hilarious thing. In Ep 6 Jang Uk says this about providing an heir for Jinyowon:
And then Lady Jin totally is giving Cho-yeon chicken personally in Ep 10:
Her twins aren't even 100 days old! Give the girl a break!
(A brood hen would be a chicken who has decided to sit on eggs and therefore reproduce, which they will only do a few times a year. I don't know the specific cultural context, but I can see that having a strong association with fertility. I tried to Google it but I mostly got articles about modern low birthrates...)
Disbelief, when I first heard the news
It left me angry and confused
Knocked the wind out of my soul
When we lost what made us whole
And now there's a heat behind my eyes
And I can't stop asking "Why?", Why?", Why?"

I love how online its always 'never keep cock birds together'
Which, sure, but umm, my hens are way more likely to shred up, chase or fight the other birds during breeding season than the guys.

Forget, “Don’t be grouchy like a rooster!” These days, we are singing, “Don’t be broody like a hen!” In our flock of Easter-Eggers, as Spring gives way to Summer, we have had one of our female fowl think she’s hatching little ones. While this maternal instinct is God-given, our girl is experiencing these urges because of hormones. She is convinced she’s going to incubate chicks,…

"we ate salt last week" is so normal but also no it's not but also yes it is bc salt is not salt it is a chicken and that's also food. also I can't believe y'all ate salt but also if he was mean then good for y'all I guess? dust to dust, soup to soup. anyways how are the rest of the soup chickens doing
