The Dogmother Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 One of my 'retirees' - Lavinia, a lavender pekin banty - laid me two eggs last week! She's about 4 and hardly laid any last year, preferring to be broody , she'd not laid any so far this year, so I thought that she'd just packed up laying. What's the betting that she starts to brood again as soon as the weather gets warm though?! She's a good brooder and mother, but so grumpy and hormonal. I currently have 3 retired ladies, who sit in the sun, swap knitting patterns and eat me out of house an home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
