I have a broody hen with only four eggs. Three have hatched but one hasn't yet. Its day 23 but still no little chick. I candled the egg to see if there was something in there and i could see the baby in there. So is there still a possibility the egg will hatch even though its almost three days late?
Well i have a broody hen that has decided to make her nest in an unsafe location. So im worried she may be in danger of predators. I want her to have chicks but i dont want her in danger. I tried moving the nest but she won't stay in it if i move it soo are there any tips on moving her without...
That is a good point on the whole intruder thing but sometimes chicks like to wander around and another hen may hurt the chick while it is away from the mom for a short time. I know this from experience.
