    INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

    So my broody hen pushed the chicks that just hatched out of the nest. And watched at the other hens started pecking them. I'm assuming this is not a good thing so I brought the chicks up and put them in brooder. So after taking them the hen jumped down and is now running around with the flock...

    So I went down to check the eggs and lo and behold I have two chicks hatched under my broody hen! It surprised me. My wife jump back yelling "what was that!!"

    I do have one question though. Someone had said about putting the chicks after they hatch in with the broody if she takes to being a good mom. How does this work? My nesting boxes are 16 inches up. How will the chicks do with that?

    With the advice you guys gave me I took 4 of the eggs and put them under my broody hen. I kept 6 in the incubator. I started with 12. 2 of which didn't develop when I heckled them at day 14.

    I'm jealous. I have one pip and I can't wait to watch them start to zip. I'm going to be really sad if this doesn't go well

    Chickencanoe, she has been sitting for 3 days now so last night I took 4 of the eggs out of the incubator and put them under her. She has stayed on them all day. this is a picture of her today sitting on the eggs. I haven't seen her get off all day. What I'm hoping to do if she takes to them...

    AnninTheBurbs, how big is the coop? Maybe I could help you with that if you are trying to get rid of it.

    Thank you for the advice guys! I have 10 so I'm going to grab a few and take them down. This was more of an experiment anyways as I've never incubated before. Hopefully I get a few more out of the deal. for clarification I can take the chicks down after they hatch too?

    I have a question. I have had eggs in the incubator for 15 days. Yesterday one of my Cochins went broody. Would it be possible for me to take the eggs that are in my incubator and put them under my hen? Or should I just leave them in the incubator for the remaining days? Not sure if it's...

    You know, their son i have issues with who doesn't live here he was visiting. As for my neighbors. I have one house within sight of me and its them. I give them a dozen eggs or two a month and they share what they have out of their garden and what not. I'm really lucky that I have neighbors...
