one of my bantam hens started to sit so I spoke to a local bantam keeper and arranged for some eggs for her to hatch. Put them under her yesterday, just a case of waiting. Have 4 silver sebright eggs ( at last) 1 golden sebright and half a dozen other eggs from different birds. Got confused with what he had there. But got my sebrights at last, just hope they not all cock birds.

First hens I have hatched so should be interesting.

Nothing today, be up first thing in morning. Been after sebright hens for ages now and couldn't get any. Got lucky talking to a bloke round corner. Have four silver and one gold egg under. Can't remember what the rest are as we walked round his pen and he just gave me what eggs they had laid that day, and he had a lot of breeds haha

On top of that the other oeg just thinking about going broody haha just hope the minorca doesn't want to to as i'd be getting none for the table.
