My broody bantum hen found a spot under a bush and has forsaken the coop to hatch a brood. I swapped out her stash for 8 fertile TJ's eggs today while she was off eating.
She hatched 6 for us 2yrs ago. Fingers crossed.
Anyone else doing TJ eggs?
one of my bantums was broody so i put 6 under her this summer
(didnt think her little bottom could keep 12 warm)
ALL 6 hatched. unbelievable and so much for for my little boy
as long as the run and coop are secure i think its okay to let them have access to the run and coop
we just put out a big bowl of food and top off their watering system if were leaving for a few days
they are farm animals after all - despite how we treat them
well 'henry' laid an egg last night so that seals the deal
but she still seems to be crowing in the morning
prolly cuz she's separated from the flock
anyways were working on re-integrating her now
fingers crossed
