glad to know my fuzzy butt peep, isnt the only loner who was acting neurotic. i just got some left over dutch bantam eggs, from the neighbor, that ive been wanting for monthes, but three including one with length ways crack going over half egg, and the one doesnt look fertile at all. i got these after something got into the coop and tossed the eggs, and most were thrown away, but i am trying and hoping for these three including one with crack, though they were layed i think unless new ones, before or right after got rosecomb bantam egg, and hen just started setting days ago... two or three look like my rosecomb were they seem to either been starting and stopping development or surging, or just bacterial growth. he sad his one poor hen, just yesterday or day before, had started trying to set the ten at least he could see on top, and they were burying them in milk crate with straw to try to keep them warn. course me being nuts and keeping my chooks in my apartment mostly (though originally just had one crippled bantam hen, who had own nice sized wire dog crate, with the pan under the cross wires to hold it in normally, and a thick thin spaced grill grate to let poop fall through, and a fridge drawer seeming perfect as she nested and layed in it as opposed to other things, when i put tore uo into small squared paper over the straw she had originally), but recently trying and hoping they can make it out side on warmer nights, as trying to get old english bantam hen to lay as she is broody but no eggs, and think the male actually got to mate her today (my gimpy hen beats them terribly if she catches them, especially if they're mating).
