Well you could have knocked me over with a feather this morning!
I saw that the hen looked broody, but I didnkt expect an egg so soon!
She had her first egg this morning! Yeah!
Fingers crossed all goes well!

Thanks everyone!!

Now the Cubans have built a new nest. =D>
Let's hope they do something!! [-o<

I have totally left them alone, I would say I have ignored them!
Food/egg food/water, and that is it!
Maybe that is the only way to get them to have babies!!
It seems that if you look at them the wrong way they stop!

My RCCB's, nada, nothing, njet!!
They love the egg food!
I think they are still too young!!
Maybe later in the year!!??

There is an egg there, right in the middle.
It's not white fluff, it's an egg.
