A hen gone AWOL
One of the ducks when AWOL and reappeared with 7 ducklings
One of the bantam hens has gone AWOL , and was found. But she was sitting ( or trying to sit ) on 20 bantam eggs. And they are unlikely to be fertile as we dont have a male bantam , following the sad demise of Andrew .
So we removed the bantam eggs and replaced them with some hopefully fertile light sussex eggs. If she spotted the swap, it didnt bother her too much as she just sat on the new eggs.
If you look closely
You can see the hen
