Chickabee Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I posted yesterday about letting my silkie share a coop with my broody sitting on some eggs. They have always been best friends. I opened the coop this morning to let twinkle out as usual and thought nothing of it. This afternoon I went to check on dazzle. I do this several times a day. They are sharing sitting on the eggs dazzle has given twinkle 2 eggs and they are huddled up together. Twinkle isn't even due a broody, or maybe she was on the verge. Anyway they both look very happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickabee Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 I read your post. My big girls do that from time to time and my exbats. I get rid of the debris ASAP and hope they'll forget about it I also have an 8 month old labrador egg eater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeshen Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Sweet! Birthing partners! When I visited Andy Cawthray's, http://thechickenstreet.wordpress.com/ I was astonished when Andy pointed out three pekin hens who were sharing a single chick! They had all shared the sitting-on-the-egg and the raising of the chick and went about as a foursome. Very funny to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
