    Rooster hatched eggs???

    Amazing! You learn something new everyday! I have roosters, so I know they aren't violent, but I've never had one go broody!

    Rooster hatched eggs???

    My friend told me that her rooster sat on some eggs, and two hatched, and now he's protecting them and leading them around, showing them how to scratch... She tells me this rooster crows and used to have a group of hens following him around, but when he went broody, the hens went to the other...

    Curled toes on year old hen
