That's brilliant, Exmoorlady. I had 8 hatch under a broody at the weekend and they are really comical to watch if you throw them little worms!  ;D Talk about tug of war!  :chook:

For goodness sake! I'm getting broody myself reading all your comments. Has anyone got a spare cockerel in my area so that I can become a mum? I live just outside Mablethorpe in Lincolnshire. is there anyone near me?
