Well, yet more have gone broody .......two bantes and one large buff sussex are crowded in one nest box, and we have a black rock joined the ranks now, plus another bantie .......Its all very well putting eggs under them, but its a job and a half remembering who is sitting where, on what, and carrying food and water to various places.  My neighbour has asked to ;put more duck eggs under one of our hens, which I am happy to do, but huts, and places to put the broodies is getting a problem, as there are so many!!!

Wonder how I will feel in a few weeks, looking at all my nice cockerels and drakes that have hatched!!
