    Broody Hen Thread!

    Congrats meme..I am so excited about my mama hen. You could go ahead and start selling them now. Just leave her with a couple so she can be happy a little while longer. Here is my girl she has 7 chicks. A Bantam Favorelle. I lifted her up, and all 7 popped out. She started to cluck at...

    I have 7 babies under my broody. She is doing so well with them. Is going to be a great mom. I took her out of the kennel, and put down a lot of shavings in the area she was in. She was so cute, calling her babies over to her after she made a little place in the shavings. She had gotten...

    I have 5 babies under my broody, and I plan on taking one more out. She is being so good. I think she can handle one more. :) They are all doing well. I can't wait for her to bring them out..how soon is that anyway before mom brings them out? I can see them waiting a few days.

    Thanks fisher. One has hatched under her, she is clucking..so she sounds happy about it. Plus, I had a RIWhite hatch in my bator, so I snuck it under her. Took an egg away and put it in my brooder. I think I will do this until she has four babies either way. I can make sure they all hatch...

    I can hear peeping from under my girl! Wondering if she will have a baby by tonight, if not, by morning for sure. Crossing fingers she will be a nice mom. This is her first time being broody..mommy. I've heard some horror stories. I hope she loves them.

    I've had three eggs under my broody, I snuck another one under her today. Didn't seem to make a difference. Egg is from the same batch that is due to hatch on the same day. I'm thinking once they all start hatching, I may try and sneak a couple of chicks out there to her. That would make it...

    That's too cute. Hiding her babies. She knew she had a bright idea.

    Well, if she's been eating it, and is ok, she should be fine. But, I don't personally keep my chicks on the medicated food for longer than a week. Causes runny poo. I think that one week does the trick any way.

    Yes, if you are worried about them being pecked to death..have them in a place that the other chickens can't get to them. My girl is in a pen of her own. If you don't have that, you can put her in something, like this carrier I have mine in, and place her in a safe place for a while. If it's...
