She went broody twice and both times this happened. They are in crate/laying boxes...Once I watched as another hen stole the eggs out from under her and thought that was how the eggs were cracked, but then I put cardboard in on both sides of her. She was totally protected and yet three days...
Please PM me if interested. They are not sexed. $8 each. They all answer to the name "Babies" and follow me or my children around the yard. They have had plenty of interaction with me, my kids, my dog, and my ducks in their first week and they have spent a lot of time outdoors grazing.
