    What to do with eggs under the broody hen

    Thank you folks! She is a tiny girl and she has three little eggs and she does take small breaks. She quit laying and is doing a "cobra strike" to me if I try to get too close.

    What color is this Polish chicken?

    Thank you all so much! Even though I wanted a boy and a girl, I wouldn't give my babes up for anything, so since they were raised together, hopefully they will always get along. Sometimes they have a "stare-off" but no fighting has occurred.

    What color is this Polish chicken?

    Ok one more question....here's my rooster and he and she? were hatched the same day from the same mom, so if the black one is a rooster too, how come she/he doesn't have the wattles hanging down like the grey rooster? I'm confused....thanks!
