hi,

i have got an extremely broody laced wyandotte hen. she has been on and off broody since christmas and has now been broody for 10 days or more solid. i have been telling her its not the spring yet and hoping she will snap out of it but she is one determined lady who just wont budge!

i have now given in tonight and sat her on 6 eggs. i was going to have to seperate her anyway as she is getting pecked by the others for hogging the nest. i have got her in the stable as im worried about the weather so she is out of the wind and rain and potential snow!

ive used my own eggs. i have put under her 2 eggs which are mum=bluebelle and dad either cream legbar or cream legbar x bluebelle and 4 that are mum=cream legbar dad=cream legbar or cream legbar cross. this is because i swapped the cockerels over 4 days ago.

who is most likely to be the dad 4 days after swapping cockerels? i will hatch another lot out after which will be new cockerels and pure bred cl.
 
Most likely cream legbar, good luck with your hatch & piccies in 3 weeks please :-)08
 
thanks! i hope they are the new cockerels chicks but if they are not it doesnt make a huge difference. i will know when they hatch if they are pure or not because of teh auto sexing. if they are funny colours i will know they are wrong dad. im getting quite good at sexing the cl pure bred chicks!
three weeks from now omg better get some chick crumbs in!
