we have 3 total and she seems to have lost interest in remainder of the eggs so i'll stick with my origianal plan and remove the remaining eggs friday...


not sure of genders yet obviously...


although it could all start again soon as Mrs Maran no.2 looks like shes starting so if i can work out a second broody coop she can start sitting!!!

What breed is she? Looks a bit like my broody that I'm trying to find out about ( she came with the place).... Is there a metallic green shine to the feathers? I'd love to know...

hi shes a black maran she does have a green sheen to her feathers, if you had a maran it would be obvious as they lay dark brown eggs...

[FiB]

They are quite dark brown  , not as dark as I've seen on internet pics, so maybe she is a mongrol.... But great mum, so all good.

am learning fast they seem to be very mum orientated!!!

My white bantam has started going broody just yesterday - I turfed her off 3 eggs last night and this morning she's there again but still laying her own so could be of use if you want to try a few more eggs under her either here or at yours.  I don't want bantie x CLx chicks and couldn't deal with cockerels but if it helps produce purebreed chicks for you (or someone else on here?) I'd gladly loan her out!
