When I was collecting the eggs this morning, I was greeted by the typical guttural warning growl of a hen in full broody show. I am not surprised that the first broody hen of 2009 is in fact Blanche. Blog readers may remember ( and if they do I shall be amazed), that it was Blanche that valiantly took over as carer to the first of the allotment ducklings last year. She proved herself to be a doting mother, so quick to capitalize on her natural instincts, I have moved her into the maternity coop, with 9 hens eggs for her to sit on. The cockerel who was so battered by Stanley, has been moved back into the buff enclosure.Blanche is back
