You guys still got broodies? Mine stopped 2 months ago! My friend has a broody muscovy hen but i dont know how many eggs she has underneath her.

Havent been in the forum for quite a while but i have an update from my previous broodies. My turkey hen managed to hatch 8 little poults out of the 15 eggs she had while the other hatched 2 poults out of 5 eggs but unfortunately one died. I am up to 17 Bronze turkeys now

One more hatched under my broody! 2 more to go! Sorry,pics not available

My two broodies share a nest and today the first turkey poult hatched.There are 3-4 more turkey eggs under them and 1-2 chicken eggs that I am sure are infertile.

Yeah. Here are some pics of my 3 poults You see 2 I know... The other one came later so no pics Its the same though

I AM ON FIRE! 14 eggs in the bator. 10 or so eggs under the 2 broodies. 3 poults that are not even a week old. 10 chicks and 2 poults that are 6 weeks old. And my rest flock of 19 chickens and 4 turkeys. DAMN!

Some posts ago I said I had 2 broodies... SCRATCH THAT.THEIR 5!!! 2 of them are in the same nest and they share at least 10 eggs. The other 2 sit on nothing and the last turkey hen made her own nest and I cant locate her.

You're telling me... If you asked me 2 months ago I would KILL for a broody hen. Now I have two broodies and no fertile eggs because I don't have a mature rooster yet.

Yes you can.If she doesnt accept them place them in your brooder (if you have any) or under the other hen. Good Luck!

Nice pictures.I wonder,doesn't see feel strange that her chicks are white?

About broody #2 I think its still early to put some chicks from your incubator under her.You say its day 15 for her.I think that 3 weeks must past and then you can put some.I am not sure though.

I always use straw.I dont like hay.Plus straw is easier for me to find.You could also use some old clothing too like sweaters.It works!

and good luck Keep us updated

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I wanted to be the 2000th comment. Damn you time zones

I know whats wrong!The temperature the last two weeks.The weather was crap and it was raining all day plus it was windy.That could be a problem or another problem could be because well the tom tried to "fertilize" the broody hen when the poor girl couldnt get up and shoo him because she had the...

I know but he rarely does it I mean I have only seen him doing it 2 times.The funny thing is HE IS PRACTISING When he finds like a rock or something he stimulates it with a hen and he tries to find his balance and he is doing the exact same thing as if he was on the hen.Its hilarious...

Tom is approximately 9 months old.I hate it that he waits for the hens permission to work on her while the rooster literally r***s the chickens.

Ooh ok.Probably they were infertile.But how? Stupid Tom and stupid a** rooster...

Hey everyone I have a little update for you. My father opened up the eggs(2 of them exploded )and what he saw was something like green slime.And some eggs had something brown like poo as he said.Could it be an early forming embryo?

I think it depends on the hen.Some may stay some may not.Depends if they are first timers etc.
