My silky hen is between 4 and 6 months old. Will she go broody?
What age does this usually happen?
She is laying eggs.
Is there anything I can do to encourage broodiness?
Thanks in advance xo
Mummy hen has hatched 4 chics. She is still broody so I put more eggs under her. Babies are still with mummy hen, but I'm worried about the new hatchlings that are due in 7 days.
Should I take the first hatchlings out and put them in another cage before the next babies arrive???
Please help!!!!
I'm new to this, first hatch!!
So excited but so confused!!
One egg has a hole in it so far, i can see its little beak moving around.
How long before it will hatch completely??
The mummy hen keeps pecking at the egg, is she trying to help her baby to be born??
