Thank you maf2008.
update on wheaten marans eggs 2 eggs have piped
I sure hope all 4 are good with chicks no more rotten eggs.
My hens that are setting were miserable in the heat, the one hen due 7/11 has broke some of her eggs she has 8 of 11 now.
I'm thinking about putting ice under the 3 with no eggs to break them up, if the others with eggs stay with it will just have to wait and see. Husband and me were talking about what would be better for them as a broody set up. I said if a person had a small building that could be set up for broodys only you could put in a small window ac unit and keep it at around 80 deg would be great.
With wire type pens to set them in with nest / food - water room to poop stretch legs and wings. Then when the hatch was done move hen with chicks to her outside brooder pen.
I need to win the lottery LOL
