If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

My broody bantam has been sitting on eggs. 3 hatched this evening! So exciting! (Hoping they aren’t all cockerels!)

I know we've had this discussion before but how did you know to leave those eggs to hatch rather than chuck em in a frying pan/boiling water? I have a morbid fear of the eggs in my fridge hatching :shock:

Because these were fertilised by a cockerel whereas the normal eggs they lay aren’t, as we don’t have a cockerel. Eggs only hatch into chicks if a. They are fertilised by a cockerel and b. They are then incubated, either by a hen or artificially. Your Tesco (free range I hope) eggs aren’t suddenly going to make you a chicken daddy!

That said, we did have rather a grim moment last week where I removed an egg that I thought had been laid by one of our other non broody bantams and it turned out to be one of the fertile ones. Poor Mr GG did get rather a nasty, gross shock when he opened it which I won’t go into in to much detail for fear of scarring the city boy for life… :vomit:

Nice one. Unfortunately, due to the exorbitant price of feed, Our Kid's no longer replacing his chooks as they die off. The price he'd have to charge for eggs is now making the whole thing prohibitive. Sad really.
Still, at least it means I've now discovered Clarence Court Mabel Pearmans's Burford Brown eggs as a replacement. :)

Well at least you didn't start the explanation this time with "When daddy chicken and mummy chicken are in love,in a committed relationship.."
:shock: :D

If i understand your explanation properly, your hen would/might normally lay chucky eggs for eating but in this instance you've pimped her out so she can have chicks?

Kind of, she didn’t get to actually do the fun part of baby making! :wink: She’s technically a surrogate. Not her eggs and she’s never met the father!

Aye, feed has gone up lots. Just hope the market doesn’t get flooded with loads of cheap EU eggs because of it when their welfare rules are even worse then ours.

And check you out with the posh eggs!

Meant to post this on Saturday but I still can't put pictures up on here.

We watched the match last Saturday via the Platinum Suite. A treat for my 89 year old father in law, a season ticket holder for donkeys years, but ill health and caring for his late wife means he'd not been to a match in nearly 10 years.

Post match, we watched with amusement lots of kids and parents chasing Connor Bradley and Jon Dadi for pictures and autographs, all of them nipping past 2 middle aged blokes who largely went unnoticed. The 2 blokes, Super John and Scott Green came over to our table and spent 20 minutes with the father in law, chatting about past games, goals and the caricatures that he used to draw for the match day programme. He's a pretty morose old chap at the best of times but he was beaming from ear to ear by the time we left. What a belting pair of blokes they both are.

If you're interested- Greeny's favourite goals for us are, Crewe at home & Chelsea and Spurs away, the latter being a little dink over the keeper in a 2-2 comeback draw.

Gladdens my heart does that. The fact that someone else finds it difficult posting pictures on here.
