My new hen went broody and I currently have no adult roosters. She laid one egg the first day she got here so fingers crossed it is fertilized from her previous flock, but if it isn't this will just be a waste of time for my poor silkie hen. :( I don't have any eggs for her or chicks.

My partridge silkie has been broody for over a month now so today I introduced three silkie chicks that I got from IdealPoultry to her. She loves them! Its so cute! They didn't know what to do, but partridge silkie tucked them under her and now they are a happy family! One white, one brownish...

What kind of incubator is that?

[/IMG][/IMG] Here are a few of the chicks that I hatched between three broody moms: so far ten have hatched: seven brown and three black! So cute: Venus, Uranus, Jupiter, Moon, Asteroid, Meteor, Nebula, Eclipse, Star, and solar have hatched!

So far 10 of 18 have hatched!

Yeah but its rare

I picked up the chick that hatched earlier today to inspect it and then I set it back down beside its mom, but the broody sitting beside its mom saw the chick and got really excited probably thinking it was hers. So she really quickly tucked the chick under her and started clucking to it. It was...

Two others have pipped!!! but one of the ones that pipped isn't moving around at all :( I am really worried! Is this normal? The other one is shaking the shell all over the place... and I don't feel/see movement in the other

Day 22 and four of twelve have hatched :(

There is a third little black chick now!

There's a little brown chick and a little black chick walking around between two of my broodies not sure of who is their mother. I think the white one finally accepted them. My third broody is out taking a break from all of the stress thank goodness. I set twelve eggs, but so far only these two...

My eggs are hatching this Tuesday and then some more this Thursday. So excited!!!!!

I ordered six eggs to put under my broody hen, but they will be arriving at my house tomorrow and I will not be home until Monday. I have someone staying at my house while I am gone and I am wondering if I should tell the person staying there to put the eggs in the fridge when they arrive or to...

I have three hens and two roosters. Last Tuesday, one of my hens went broody. Two days later a second hen went broody. And just yesterday my third hen went broody. Its really weird because they all sit together in a big huddle and rotate the eggs between them as if they were one giant bird. I am...

1.) big enough for the hen to have a good place to stretch her eggs and get food and water so relatively big space (although i have never done this and have had three perfectly good hatches without separating the broody momma hen 2.) if you really dont want to disturb her, i suggest doing it at...

Good luck! One of my broodies should hatch the same day as yours so fingers crossed all goes well!!

Two of my three hens have gone broody together. The first is sitting on eleven eggs and the second is sitting on two now. The second just went broody yesterday and the only reason she is sitting on two is because she stole one of the eggs from my other broody somehow. I don't know how she did...
