Is that even possible??? I thought it took 25 hours to produce one egg. :idunno
Well nobody else lays that color egg. And it was definitely the same day. Maybe she missed a bit after the first full size egg and wrapped it in shell and popped it out. I assume it has no yolk.
Her shells are very tough - I have to drop them from quite a height to crack them. May have to take a hammer to that little one! :lau

My Dad has actually said the same thing about writing a book about them. I may consider doing so (or helping, at least).

Those birds are cute little monsters.
My plan is to write about them. Still working on the pictures because I want to make it a children's story.
:D:gig:lau Those two are brilliant characters.
Please write a book about them
 
Hi all! I’d love advice from those who’ve raised these breeds. As you know I am going to start a flock of Swedish Flower Hens (SFHs) My research shows they rarely go broody, which seems legit across sources.

Here’s my dilemma: when I want more chicks, I could get an incubator or add Silkies (my daughter loves them) or Bantam Cochins (those fluffy butts get me). Both go broody often, which is perfect. But my dirt-floor coop isn’t insulated, and rats have taken chicks before—I can control them somewhat, not fully.

Which breed might handle this better—Silkies or Bantam Cochins or should I forgo these bantam sized breeds altogether to be safe?

I’d try to raise them together as chicks to prevent bullying, but what else should I consider? Thoughts?
