Both Silkie hens are now broody! I’ve placed each in a seperate pen, their own nests and they have now been sitting cooing softly for the past couple of days.<\/p>\n
I won another eBay bid on some light sussex eggs which should be winging their way to me now as I speak. After the problem with the last batch I have chosen Georgia for these. This is by far the largest hen so I think these eggs will sit comfortably underneath her without any problems.<\/p>\n
However, with Elle now chortling happily on her nest of straw I couldn’t steer myself away from the lures of ebay and am now watching several lots of eggs. It will be chance to which I win but currently I’m winning on these beautiful hens – Gold Brahma’s:<\/p>\n
