That makes sense, day 3 (we think) this is our first time so pretty nervous about the whole thing. She only has 2 eggs as I took one out to see if they were actually fertilised.... By my investigating they are... But again I'm a total newbie.
We are fairly lucky not to have many pests here, I don't think the pukeko would help with that but our cat would haha, she doesn't annoy the chickens or the ducks which is lucky.
Boohoo about moving! That always sux and having to give chickens away would be the worst! Hopefully I don't have to.
He's not ours as such, he's definitely wild but he's alone and our ducks seem to think he's like them so he hangs around, you certainly can't get close to him. Most people here think they are a pest but they are very pretty and keep my garden weeded haha.
We are very lucky we live rural, not...
Ahhh lord of the rings.... Haven't seen them haha (only one?)
Currently we have 4 bantams, not sure on breed but they all have the hairy feet and are tiny. 1 rooster and his 3 wives. Jack, Jill, Millie and Mollie. Jill I have just discovered is sitting on some eggs and it's the middle of winter...
Yip that's her, sorry! Not sure on breed, she's white and tiny with hairy feet.
She only started laying a month ago... Felt like we were waiting forever so am surprised she's already sitting.
Yip she is sorry! Not sure on breed, she's white and tiny and hairy feet. Not at all helpful most likely.
Intend to check the eggs she is sitting on tomorrow. She's been laying only about a month... Waited patiently until we got back from holiday and there were 7 eggs! So proud.
Hi all. Hope someone has some advice, we have 4 bantam chickens, a boy called Jack and his 3 wives, Jill his first wife has been sitting on her nest on eggs for 2 days now. I have a feeling that Jack hasn't done the deed yet (but don't know for sure) I'm picking up some fertile eggs for her...
