If you want chickens hatched on your schedule, you need to get an incubator. Where do you plan on brooding chicks in Michigan in January/February? If you want your hen to hatch them out, I'd wait a couple more months and let nature take its course.[/quote. I would have to bring the chicks...
Please advise: I would like my girl to hatch a batch of chicks, and I heard that leaving the eggs with her might instigate her to go broody. But I don't want to waste the eggs... So does anyone have opinions on the chances of this working? She's a light brahma, about 8 months old, and yes, it's...
