You are at the mercy of their desire to be a mama.

 

Unless you have an incubator. jumpy.gif

Egyptian Fayoumis are one of the world's treasures and are magnificent creatures.

a while back I was looking for plans for a brooder and found this old book:

if you check out page 68 it talks about how to get a hen to set on eggs. I would presume that it works since the guy took the time to write about it. YMMV.
