Yep, like I said, twice in the last six months.

I have 5 grown hens now (cochin bantam, silkiemix and polish) only 1 of them is laying because three is either brooding or with chickens or believe she is with chickens and I have 4 incubators :bag:

I had one of these many years ago amd she was brooding also

Jlippe: they are so sweet!

Livi, off the subject a tad, but does your cochin allow you to reach in her box when brooding, or is she a mean broody?

Also, everyone, are the du'ccle's nice mommas too?

I have had a gentle broody and a horrible mean one, i prefer the former!

My pure bred cochin was a very nice brooder, my (or my 3 year old daughers really) mix of bantam cochin and bantam silkie is a monster. She bites and she screams, awful sound. She is very mean to the other chickens to, fiercly protecting her nestbox and an unecessary big area around it And she was hatched in end of january, had just been laying a few weeks before she felt the urge. I reckoned it was no need to try and dissuade her of the notion so I gave her a few eggs to be hatched in 14 days.
