might manage a dozen if they come from similar sized hens to herself. I've heard of some managing more, but I'd call that the limit of safety, and some wouldn't manage as many as that.Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment

Well, the six fake ones have easily disappeared beneath all her 'skirts,' so if she's still sitting tight this evening, I'll go on eBay and get a dozen. Watch this space!Last edited by Glutton4...; 25-07-2010, 01:38 PM. All the best - Glutton 4 Punishment

Update:
She's still sitting tight on her plastic/rubber eggs. Not eating or drinking or pooing. She seems like she's in a trance.
I'm collecting twelve assorted large fowl eggs tomorrow evening!
Yup, we'll eat the fellas.Last edited by Glutton4...; 26-07-2010, 08:19 PM. All the best - Glutton 4 Punishment

Do you dispatch the boy's yourselves and dressing?
I dunno if I would have the courage to do it, but i'm gonna have to start learning.
Who fancies giving me a lesson nearer the time, so I know what i'm doing!Comment

Mr. G. has dispatched sick/dying ones in the past. I guess I'll have to get my hands dirty!
(I hate dirty hands
ask my Mum, I was born like it!)

Sod it i'll just have to get the neighbour to do it... only problem is he won't pluck em even tho i've told him how to do it.
I don't like doing it either, funny that tho. I can't touch them once their dead either, but I can handle shop bought chooks.Last edited by sheena; 27-07-2010, 12:03 AM.Comment
