mostin Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Got another "renta-broody" sat on a clutch of eggs . None of my girls ever seem to properly sit tight, but this one has been bothering a friend for months and clogging up the nest box with all her palaver, so she has come to live with Aunty Mostin for a short while, and is now happily sitting tight on a dozen eggs. 6 are from my Columbine who lays cream instead of green eggs , but she is a fab layer and they are a beautiful shade of cream and a fab shape. The other 6 are from my Coton Blue who lays green eggs. They have been fertilized (I hope ), by Laurmaurf's Aracauna cockerel, who has been having a little holiday with us. He carries the genes for pure blue eggs shells, so I am hoping for some very pretty egg laying girls out of this bunch. Fingers crossed, but trying not to count my chckens yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Dozen sounds a lot of eggs. What breed is she? I had 13 eggs under a LF Brahma but could easily got a few more in. Good luck with the new chicks, I bet they'll turn out really pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
