Thank you Curlytop.  GrannieAnnie, they're Indian Runners from a variety of coloured mums.  And yes I was up at 6.30 to check and have checked every ten mins since!! Unfortunately no sign yet, how many days would you suggest we wait?

Junie she has been wonderful and sat for four weeks, poor little (or not so little) girl!!

She certainly deserves for them to hatch - mine was impossible to move into here own space, so she kept getting off for the others to lay!!  Let them lay in her nest, but she tried to rip our arms to shreds when we tried to move her!  My neighbour  has told me that sussex make excellent mums so fingers crossed for you.

Good luck  and waiting on some news!
