Title: broody now!
Post by: deepinthewoods on February 07, 2012, 06:11:25 pm
how daft is that! what would you do? im tempted to build a pen in the kitchen and move them in, 3 weeks from now is nearly march and hopefully a bit of cornish spring weather altho i think im being daft really. but i am keen to see the results of my new breeding program.
theres 2 together sitting on about 25 eggs.

Take the eggs away,make them wait a few weeks! ;D Two sitting on eggs together is not a good thing, they'll be pinching each others eggs, letting them get cold and you'll end up with nothing. If you'ld like to borrow an incubator let me know :)
