    Okay thank you! I think I'm going to break her as I don't think I want to risk it going bad.

    RIR Hen Broody?

    I have a Rhode Island Red hen and I brought her specifically as they are not known to go broody. The last couple of days she has stopped laying and has been sitting on the nest box without any egg. She has plucked out a bunch of feathers too and has just started puffing herself up whenever I...

    Incubator Temperature too low - Day 22

    First one hatched. 2 others have pipped. It's day 24 and I'm glad at least one has made it. Not the cutest chick 🐣 but a chick nonetheless 😂
