Well sad news this morning. I lost the Icelandic hen that was setting on eggs, she had about a week to go to hatch, she was dead on the nest, all we can figure is she got too hot but not sure,she had food and water and shade and air circulation around the nest, we were able to move the eggs under another hen that only had one egg under her, they were still warm but don't know if they will hatch. I hope so, I am down to two hens and two roosters on my Icelandics. i have had the worst luck with broodies this year, have had some really bad hatches and bad luck with hens. It is starting to get hot here, we had some rain about three days ago but they are forecasting 90s for the week. I am ready to stop trying to hatch till fall. when these last 7 hens get off their nest I am done till fall. Lynn
