    day 15 can I move to a broody hen?

    Oh, good. Its sooo much eaiser to have a hen raise them, than to raise them up , and intoduce them to the flock. We were given some eggs, and didn't have a broody hen until now. So we will go ahead and put the eggs under her. Thank you!

    day 15 can I move to a broody hen?

    Its day 15 for my eggs, can I move the eggs out of the bator to a broody hen? She has been sitting on wood eggs for a week now. Will they be ok under her? Will she still want to be broody after they hatch when she hasn't set for 21 days? Please give me advice! Thank you! -Chelsea

    I do have two hens we would like to trade. One Dark Cornish, and one Silver Laced Wyandotte. They are 1 year old, not moulted yet. The Silver Laced Wyandotte was pretty beaten up by the 4 roos we had. She is missing quite a few feathers on her back. All the hens are getting a break now...
