The egg is most probably fertilised as we have a lavender bantam cockeral in the pen aswell...but you can still eat them...must find a new home for him soon...but as hes behaving atm...thers no rush

shes a perkin bantam...so hopefully new chicks in the spring if she goes broody

oh you really gotta get some...quite alot of us have them around hear...ive got two hybrids(normal chickens) and was given a lavender bantam thinking it was a hen but its a cockeral...so hopefully baby chicks in the spring if she goes broody (which ive been told that bantams are likely to do so ) if i do have any...you can have a few of them...sorted

we used to have ex battery hens over the yard, most of them became really friendly they used to follow my mum all over the place :lol: she was like the pied piper of the chicken world! :lol: :lol:

i was suprised how attatched to them we all got.....lovely fresh eggs everyday

sadly the resident fox got a taste for them so we could'nt let them out in the day anymore...
