mollyripkim Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Would you believe it but both Cilla and Ivy have decided to go very determinedly broody, why ever would they do that in all this cold weather, only had it in spring and summer before. Still taking them off the nest several times a day and shutting them out as worried they won't get enough food to be able to cope with the cold. Will it just make it worse if I try and make sure they get extra rations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suebee Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I've very little experience of broodies, but I would have thought you're doing the right thing in making sure they eat enough for the cold weather. The day's are short enough as it is, without wasting eating time being broody... dafties eh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Definitely daft! Gave them all some warm porridge before bed tonight as it so cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
