Luvachicken Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 It was my own fault for boasting on the egg page how many eggs Suzie has laid in the last week, but now she is broody . I really thought that with it being dark and chilly, broodiness wouldn't be going on. I am never, ever going to boast about my eggs again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Aw she's not really just wants an excuse to stay in bed like me these cold dark mornings. At least you have a nice stock of eggs for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollyripkim Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 My Cilla has just finished yet another broody session, silly girl. I've got a surprise for her next year though as I bought a classic and am going to get some hatching eggs. Just hope she is as good a mum as she is broody.

mollyripkim Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Sounds like a plan forming I keep looking at pekins as that's what I would really like to hatch. I have one and she is a little sweetheart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margaret Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Lily has now been broody for over 2 months, plus broody almost every month throught the summer During the warmer weather she went into the broody cage but this time of year I feel it is too cold, so hubby just lifts her off a few times a day. thought if you left them they would automatically just de brood eventually, obviously not.

Luvachicken Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Well Suzie gets set free from the broody cage tomorrow morning, and I'm really hoping that that's it until Spring - please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
