    Letting a broody hatch some eggs

    Thankyou so much for that , I was concerned that it wouldn’t be enough protein etc for the hens and also might affect their egg production.. now that I know that I’ll give my still broody hen some more eggs to hatch ( after she has had a rest )

    Thankyou so much for the warm welcome! I have a broody hen who has hatched some fertile eggs that I put under her and the chicks are now 10 weeks old . I’ve been trying to guess their genders since day 1 though I haven’t had any success . I would be extremely grateful to hear what you all think 😊

    Hi I’m new here and this is my first posting so hopefully I’m doing it correctly! I have a broody hen that has recently hatched some fertilized eggs that I put under her , they are now 10 weeks old and I’ve been trying to guess their genders since day one with no success. If anyone could tell...
