    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    That is true! These eggs needed to be set ASAP anyway so whatever happens happens. My hen is doing a great job,she hasn't left the nest since I put them under her and she has spread out about as far as she can go :-) I think she knows she has a BIG job to do

    I guess if it's too late to take some out, it's a good thing because she is on a very well formed straw nest.

    Chicken with Crooken neck. HELP!

    So do you think keeping her in a dark, isolated room was a key factor? I have been keeping my girl in a dog crate in the laundry room and it's not quiet and dark. :-). I also have been taking her outside and letting her hang out in the grass for a little bit each day. She seems to like hearing...
