It's a long story that has it's own thread but, here is the short of it. We have tried 3 times to hatch chicks through our very committed broody hens with no success. We have all but assured our cockerel is either sterile or very low productive. So...…..we finally broke down and bought hatching...

This was our first ever and it came from a very unexpected place. It was from one of our baby pullets Nugget. She is a 21 week old Asian Blue.
