It is a great feeder, but one of the clips that holds the body so it will hang has gone missing, and I can't seem to make any replacement work!!

    Broody Dominique Bantam

    I have a Dom Bantam that has gone broody. She had 11 eggs, then abandoned them on Saturday. Today, I finally followed her to her new nest. She was already back on it, so I don't know how many eggs are there. A friend wants to lend me a bantam frizzle rooster to see what the cross looks like...
