My broody is sitting well.
She started looking pale the other day. I started giving her extra protein (half an egg, a spoonful of peanut butter, I try to vary it and tend toward eggs and use peanut butter as back up) and her color is coming back pretty well.
Her stools look very wet on some days and well-formed on others. ???Help???
I gave a friend six eggs from her before she started brooding. My friend said that none of those eggs hatched. I do have three LF eggs in the 'bator, but I haven't had any good hatches (I've hatched one chick out of six hatches totaling over 40 eggs set), so I'm not holding my breath to have chicks from the incubator to slip under, necessarily.
What would you do????
