It's normally the other way around here.... they stop laying when they see me in a bikini

I would recommend an aviary setting but cages will work.

Apologies to those of you that have already replied, I'm too lazy to remove your names from the tag list.

My 9.5 year old hen is back to laying again so I bet she'll lay 12 eggs and go broody for a Christmas hatch!
I really hope her eggs are fertile I really want chicks from her! She is the picture of health and never had any issues in her life since I got her a few years back from a breeder who didn't want the old hen. She is the best mumma ever too.
She is the Queen of the flock always and is picky with her men so I'm not sure if she's warmed up to Biscuit rooster yet. I haven't seen the deed done only him side shuffle dancing around her.
