I have two old english game bantam hens...they both layed eggs in February, about 8 each, but did not sit on their eggs.

Hi All,
I have a modern bantam hen that has laid 10 eggs thus far and not sure when she's going to go broody over them.

Just started out raising bantams as a hobby. So far, pretty enjoyable.
I have photos on photobucket. If you go there and search for "dtsacbanty" 's profile, you'll see pictures of my birds.
Enjoy and Thanks.
