Hi everyone. This is my second attempt at getting a successful hatch with a broody hen. Can anyone tell me how long the chicks stay under the mother before they emerge? I can hear some cheeping. Mother hen is in with the main flock in a separate box- I will move her and chicks when the hatch has finished. One other question I caught the cockerel trying to mate with mother hen whilst still on her eggs???? is that normal?
