That is outstanding news! Good deal.
Thank goodness. If I ever do a hatch it will have to be Hepzibah who sits. She tries every summer & she's persistent.So interested, but not dedicated!

Correct me if I haven't understood correctly, but aren't EEs a hybrid Aracauna X? That being so, wouldn't it make sense they'd have very different personalities depending on their parentage?That is so true. My two were very different as well.
I can see this ending in tears. Some eggs will hatch and much to everyones surprise a friendly little cockerel appears. Ribh does her sit down feeding bit and WOW, she's straight on BYC telling us all how the little cockerel sat on her lap.Thank goodness. If I ever do a hatch it will have to be Hepzibah who sits.

Shad! That's just pisen mean!I can see this ending in tears. Some eggs will hatch and much to everyones surprise a friendly little cockerel appears. Ribh does her sit down feeding bit and WOW, she's straight on BYC telling us all how the little cockerel sat on her lap.
As the cockerel grows up he's the only chicken that is proactively nice to Ribh. He sits on her lap and tells her when I grow up, you're going to be my favourite hen. Ribh is smitten and becomes a full time wattle fondler. I mean, no one will notice a crows out here on the island she thinks and it's not like we get inspected by the 'authorities'.
Of course, the hens hate him at first. But, as he learns what he should be doing some of the hens get into a huddle one day saying 'girls, you know what that irritating male means? BABIES!'
