    Is there a way to make hens broody?

    I know it might be a silly question but I have a flock of 28 hens and not a song one has gone broody, is there a certain age or time when they become broody? I usually hatch in incubators but I have heard that it is easier to hatch with a hen because the chicks will be part of the flock once...

    Turkey egg having trouble hatching.

    This turkey egg is beginning to hatch, but it looks as if the eggs membrane is too tight around the chick, is there anything I could do? The chick sounds strong and is creeping loudly, but doesn't seem to be able to move.

    What kind of chicken is this???

    I do not have a single white chicken in my flock, but after incubating a set of eggs, I hatched this pretty girl. Any ideas on where she came from or what kind of breed she is?
