Chickabee Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Vicky the Brahma is broody, or so she thinks. She's in the cube and it's really hard to get her out of that hole at the side without getting battered by her wings. Anyway once I've got her we have a big cuddle and a walk around the garden and I pop her back in the run. She then remembers there's something much more important than having babies, FOOD. And that's it for another day . I've got 3 other Broodies at the moment, goodness knows what I'm going to do when they start laying. I already average 12 eggs a day and have just got 2 new pullets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millie-Annie Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 My Brahma used to get really broody too. I used to put her in the sin bin for a few days, usually sorted her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 That time of year. I had Polly in the broody cage the other week and now I have Gemma in it this week. Gemma also gets a tour of the garden and gets to sit on my lap on my swing seat (my favourite place to be) before being placed in the cage. Funny how they get so floppy.

Chickabee Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 My first experience with a Brahma, she is really soppy. The bantams are really stroppy. They keep beating up the ducks, and they are huge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Poor ducks Are they small ducks or do you have big Pekins ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 They're huge, one is a Saxony and one is a tufted. They're scared of basically everything. Very entertaining though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millie-Annie Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 My Brahma was a beautiful girl. She was nearly 8 and still laid quite frequently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 She's in the sin bin, she looks so unhappy. I've never used a broody cage before, although I've always had one ready. Hopefully 3 days and nights will do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
