    @staceemcclain if you have any other laying hens and any who want to lay eggs with her you will want to mark the eggs she's on so u can pull any new ones...21 days and you'll have baby chicks.

So I sat patiently with peeping chick in hand, MA started frantically looking around then back behind her so I quickly dropped chick beside her. She turned...
