is she broody? leaving eggs will not make them sit.

It is a more "in the future" question

Quote: I would suggest reading up on the broody hen threads... there's a lot of variables with broodies just as there are with incubators. probably more, since you're working with an independently thinking incubator. LOL

That is very true... I'll just have too feel through it I suppose! I really wanted them to be naturally raised with little of me in it untill they hatch!

Can someone please tell me it is too late in the year to start hatching again. My current batch have just gone into lockdown today and I have that need..... Keep looking on eBay at eggs! Please someone tell me I should wait until spring now......

Oh my God, why would you think that.

Think about all those fertile eggs out there wanting to turn into cute little fluffy butts.

You owe it to the eggs.

Start hatching!!

AGAIN?? you mean people actually STOP? or do you mean hatching STILL? must be that... why would anyone want to stop?

Last Saturday we set 44 eggs.

This Saturday we will be setting more than 10 x that.

Where I hatch we dont have a winter - so I cant tell when to stop - if that was actually required.

Some kind of support group this is...... I get the idea, we just support each other in feeling ok about being addicts rather than helping each other to stop! I can't wait for my Roos to start doing the do so I don't have to keep buying eggs!
