Well, today I was mean to 'the chooken'.
She's a dwarf sussex bantam (and I do mean dwarf).
Brilliant little bird, very tame, real pet.
Would be a brilliant mum.
She has been sitting on faux eggs, doing her best.
Today I took away the eggs to break the broodiness.
I feel so mean.

Yup.
Chicken make good pets, given a chance. Learn fun tricks too. Taught several to count, peck targets etc
I used to breed bantams years ago, Buff Pekins. Unfortunately a) I hate knocking off extra roosters and b) I'm inside township boundries so no roosters otherwise I'd be seriously tempted
Yeah the rooster thing sucks, I don't really want to breed them.
A lot of the time broodies will 'tick over' & give it up as a bad clutch, but if they don't, sorry. No getting sick allowed!
Still feel mean doing it.
