This evening I went to visit My Granny that lives in the Assisted Living Home. Several of the Ladies know that I have Chickens and Honey Bees . We were enjoying the evening and watching the Lighting Bugs when one of the Ladies ask Me if I had Baptised any of My Chickens yet, After the laughing stopped ,I told Her no and ask Her Why would I ? She said if a Hen tried to go setting and Her Mom didn't want it to She took it to the Creek and Baptised it and the Hen would stop setting..She also told Us to mate a special Hen and Rooster to cage Them alone for 2 weeks before letting the Hen go setting .She said this will make sure the Rooster is the Daddy of the offspring. and the last piece of advice was to make sure to set the Hen before Lunch time if I want pullets and after if I want Roosters. Anyway Everyone had a good laugh .
I would love to hear others take on this .
