Hi
We have been keeping bantams for 3 years now but this year we are having real problems with broodies, it must be the weather! We pop them in a make do broody pen, which we hate doing and we have also tried false eggs under them, to no avail. I know that this a perfectly natural state for them...
Just joined this morning after finding such help through Backyard Chicken website. One of our bantams died for no reason this morning, a favourite. We have been keeping 8 bantams for three years and it is our first fatality.
