yes! This is exactly my plan. I just don't fully trust this first-time mama XD
though as someone new to incubating, who knows how trustworthy I am! Though I guess I'm putting most of my trust in the egg seller and the incubator in doing a good job. Not much for me to do but wait.
Good to know! I'll keep an eye on her. Currently strutting around the yard as if nothing is amiss :rolleyes:
I'm quite certain. She's definitely not sick. I think it's partly down to her being only a first-time brooder. gotten some replies suggesting some hens go through a pre-broody stage as...
For sure - my concern is she's off it more often than she's on the nest as of right now, though she's still sitting several hours a day/night.
Either way - @The birb king is giving me hope she'll start nesting more full time in the coming days - for now I'm gonna go get the eggs in the incubator!
Hey, all! Hopefully I've found the right category for this thread as it could really fit in a few different areas.
I've been raising hens for several years now and raised chicks twice. Now, my hen that I got as a day-old last year has started going broody. I'm so proud!
But the keyword here...
