Day one of the cream legbar egg sit

Sweetie, our hatchling from last year has gone broody. Plumped up like a teacosy and all the feathers on her breast have been plucked away...its made egg retrieval a bit icky when you stick your hand under her and its all warm and fleshy!! So we've decided to give her some eggs. Instead of last year where we hatched bantums we've decided to introduce a different breed into the mix in the hope of creating some good laying a table birds. So instead of going for a Dorking or Orpington (the logical choice) I wanted some blue eggs so we picked cream legbars! After a post on the practical poultry forum a lovely lady has sent us 6 pale blue Cream Legbar eggs and much to the disgust of sweetie today I took away her clutch ( made up of two of hers and one of Hatty's and Mrs Pretty's marked with green food colouring for identification purposes) as well as 3 of the eggs laid today that she had grabbed as well and gave her the new eggs. So having googled it would appear that chook gestation is 20-22 days so that would put hatch day between the 5-8th of June! All very exciting as I'm hoping to get atleast a one hen and a cockrel out of the hatch!
T is not happy about the dispatching of our Cockrel from last years hatch...although when T went out to cuddle Specky (said cockrel) he pecked him!! He's starting to crow at 4am-ish, is a bit of a bully and has trampled and eaten the eggs a good few times. Also with having a new lot of chicks on the way I don;t trust him not to kill them. The other girls weren't too bothered by the arrival of Sweetie, Specky and Chubs but he's got a bit more attitude to him, that and although he's beautiful to look at, there's not much meat on him and he is only able to mate with the smaller ladies and so would only make for small birds.....so Tomorrow he's being slaughtered by our next allotment plot neighbour........and I hope that the kids won;t be too traumatised by it! I'm all for them learing the fact of life - ie we eat meat therefore animals must die but on the otherhand I do feel like an evil Mummy too.......we'll see eh
