Tara.F Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Racey Lacey, our little wyandotte bantam comes into lay at the beginning of April. She stops laying at the end of September....a total of six months (or 26 weeks) Last year she went broody four times, and each time she remained off lay for five weeks. 4 x 5 = 20. This blimmin bird is only laying six weeks in a year She is broody again, having laid just four eggs so far this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Pure breeds and bantams are more likely to become broody than hybrids. I'd get a broody cage and try to snap her out of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hope her stunning good looks make up for it! Our Wyandotte bantam is a bit of a machine, she's only had 3 days off this month. Shouldn't have said that, what's the betting she'll now go broody tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
