    Broody again?

    Thank you! Yes, it has helped. She's definitely fatter than she was when the ducklings hatched but I need her next to her sister to compare her weight. I'm guessing it must have been 5 weeks ago now and they get enough treats as well as layers/corn so I would think she's ok. I'll give her a...

    Broody again?

    One of our Wyandottes, Daisy, went broody on use about a month before Easter. We "borrowed" some duck eggs which she sat on. 4 hatched, one hadn't formed at all and the other didn't survive the hatching. They hatched around Easter weekend. All other chickens were lovely with the ducklings...

    How's your liking the extra rain and wind? The silkies have been sulking but three of the others have started laying though so we can't complain too much :)

    Sunrise is after 8am and then dark again just after 4pm :( The girls have taken themselves to bed by 4pm and I've just popped out to find Lily the Polish on the nest box lid again so popped her indoors. Daisy (Wyandotte) is sitting in the favoured nest box. I may check to see if there's another...

    I think we have a new layer...

    We've been away for Christmas and friends have popped in to collect eggs and check on the girls. Four of our six were born mid June, the other two we don't know when they were born. We know one Wyandotte is laying, we think our Polish is but I think someone else has joined in. The one on the...
