Triple Broody

Got so many broodies at the moment that we haven't got enough cages to break them. Am letting this lot get on with it and will see what happens, no doubt it will all end in tears.

Looks like too many cooks on the left. Can they actually hatch eggs like that or are they being silly?
What do you call that colouring - are they your game hens? (except Blondie)

We are about to find out as I have nowhere left to put them given an outbreak of mass broodiness. The risk is that they will fight over the chicks. Yes the two smaller hens are game bantams, in chicken terms you would call the colouring gold partridge I suppose. Game are supposed to be excellent mothers, so we will see what transpires.
