Rabbieboy Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Eggs from some breeds are available all year round but most pure breeds stop laying over winter so there is less chance of getting their eggs, but some are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I think you really need to seperate them, the other girls would probably attack and chicks. I'm not an expert though and don't have any experience but I do want to raise some chicks so am interested in this thread. I would wonder whether mum could keep chicks warm enough in winter. Maybe someone can let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
