I have a hen that went broody around the 1st of May and I was going to try to get some eggs for her to sit on . Does any one know if I still have time to get some eggs to put under her.( we dont have a roo) Will she keep sitting on them?

So sorry for your little chick loss. We had 1 small white egg( All the rest brown)that was the very last to hatch I was almost thinking it wouldnt. It ended up being the brown chick. Its pretty neat having them not look alike.
So excited for everyones chicks hatching. Love seeing all the pictures.. So I thought Id show you all some more of our babies. My boys love letting them have their own private movie on their flat screen . They seem to enjoy it.
Hoping someone might be able to tell me what breed? I got them from a feed store and she said she has a mix of different hens but only a black silky roo and white silky roo. Most of the other chick look some what like black silkys.
CHICKEE , It is very hard waiting we had a surprize cause ours started hatching on day 18. and finished on day 21. I think that the lady I got them from must of had gotten from a broody . Iam lucky that we work from home so got to enjoy the hatch.
