  • Shock broody

    I've just realised that my wyandotte banty hen is broody again
    She is in with her mate Trousers and three older youngsters who were hatched at the start of June. Thay can only be six or seven weeks but she is sitting on six eggs.
    Is it too soon to let her brood again? she's been out and about and eating really well, they are all getting growers at the mo, with greens two or three times a week. Seems to be a decent weight and did eat ok during her last brood, but will it take too much out of her? She's my one and only broody so I need to look after her.
    Anyone who says nothing is impossible has never tried slamming a revolving door

    If her weight and colour is good then she should be fine. It's not good to sit underweight birds, as you know, but if she feels ok then let her do her thing. She obviously thinks she's ready! Feed her plenty of corn to keep her energy up and reduce weight loss.
