One of the white bantams persisted in sitting on top of a cat carrier, balanced precariously. Got fed up of seeing her sitting clucking, so gave her 7 mixed bantam eggs and popped her in the carrier. Forgot when they went in, so was not sure when to expect any hatch. Last few days she has not come off the nest, but yesterday she was out and about, and when I checked the eggs, they were stone cold. Thought she knew they were rotten and had given up. But ....no she returned and took up her position again. And this morning there was cheeping. 5 out of 7 again. So, thats two 5 out of 7, one 6 out of 7 and 1 out of 2.
Think I will not sit any more now, lots of chicks all round the place!! Although have three silkies all broody now as well.
