Any excuse to post this pic again...For those of you who have hatched with a broody, can a large fowl hatch out bantam eggs, or will mama squash them?
Mama is LF barnyard mix Dorking/Polish size wise she is on the polish end of her parentage so smaller than a lot of my other girls. Chicks are Silkie/D'Uccle. I wouldn't mix bantam and LF eggs and I also wouldn't put them under a really big mama or give expensive eggs to a first time broody. Good Luck
I served rabbit once at a rabbit club potluck. It was a local rabbit show club, mostly all adults. One woman was vehement in her stance of not eating rabbit. I had taken the rabbits and ground them, then made lasagna.
She asked if she could take the leftover lasagna home. I said sure and sent it with her.
I never told any of them the meat in the dish was rabbit..................I'm bad![]()
I candled my Del eggs under my broody...Day 5...I really couldn't see much. My flashlight isn't bright enough and they are fairly dark and it is early. Maybe saw veining maybe it was imagination and wishful thinking. Will look again in about a week.
Handsome boy! Do MB hens carry the barring/crele gene?
