I'll be tweeting from @SmallholdersUK for the next week so it may be a bit quieter here than usual. Come and say 'Hi' if you get the chance!

@Marksvegplot @Victoriana_NG Yep! The bolthardy were a bit bigger but the Golden Eye were definitely the same size as yours. I have got them under plastic cloches but more because of the bloody rabbits than because of their size

@wendyinswwales Yikes!!!! 🐓

@SmallholdersUK I use an incubator; yes it’s more expensive but I’ve had ‘broodys’ just get off the nest 2 weeks into the process and not go back 😡
With an incubator I’m in control and not at the mercy of hens with short attention spans!
