Griffin Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I am ridiculously excited I'm helping to transport a trio of Wyandottes at the weekend, and as part of their journey they'll be staying overnight with me. I've been given permission to take advantage of the boy I've never been able to hatch my own eggs, and all the while I'm living here having a cockerel isn't a possibility, but during his short stay he'll be entertaining a few of my ladies Invited to the party will be Poppy (very dark eggs), Robin (blue eggs), Tiger (white eggs) and Anne of Cleeves (green eggs) so I'll know in the days afterwards which eggs to use. The plan is to pop them into the incubator just before I go on holiday and with any luck by the time I return I'll have a broody who can take over if any of the eggs are fertile. Lets hope he takes a shine to my lucky ladies and that they're on their best behaviour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Oooh Good Luck I've put 6 of my eggs in the incubator to test Freckle's fertility - have a feeling he is firing blanks though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 He's a bantam buff columbian and he's a stunner! Off to select a few ladies for him now..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Cor he was a stunner! And so well behaved too. I didn't hear a peep out of him, so much so I was worried he might be dead this morning Robin & Poppy wanted to kill him and had no interest in being his girlfriends, Hob"Ooops, word censored!" was terrified, Anne of Cleeves ignored him but Tiger is in love! She utterly adored him, they spent hours cooing in each others ears, dancing and feather ruffling She couldn't understand why the other ladies weren't interested in the visiting hunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 That's so funny cos I sometimes think Freckles is dead he's so quiet I have some of his eggs in the incubator and will candle tomorrow - don't quite think he's got the hang of it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
