I have a speckled Sussex that was a first time broody, got her some eggs and she sat until day 10, then stopped. She only sits on them at night. She is currently in a 'maternity Ward' I built just for her so there aren't any chickens that bother her. It is now day 16, I candled and see movement...
Today is National Poultry Day! Be sure to give your chicks, ducks, geese, turkeys, peafowl or other poultry an extra treat today! My little ladies spent the morning hanging out and being loved by a school full of preschoolers! :)
