Caught these two the other day, both wanting to lay their eggs, both wanting the 'egg basket' as I call it. They usually stomp on one another, but they seem to have found a way. It's called 'top and tail' !! Since then Bea has gone broody AGAIN, this is the third time this year. Hence I gave her a really cold bath this afternoon and made her soak in it for ages (to cool her down and stop her getting broody). Not sure if it has worked yet though.

At least they have worked it out how to get in the basket together.

My missus wants a couple of chickens for fresh eggs. I have no idea about them, we have spoken with a local pet shop whose staff member has some, and she has tried to explain the basics, but I must admit I wasn't paying much attention at the time. What are the basics we need to know Shirls? PM me if you want please.
