    Broody Hen Thread!

    I have tried looking, but nope. They all say they have finished their hatches for the time being. I do have a friend that will have chicks that will be two weeks old by the time this one hatches, they are in a brooder. Would that work???

    How cold can eggs get....had a hen that jumped off, the eggs were very cold. Candled them and the chickens were moving in a floating like motion when I moved the egg. put them straight in the incubator but don't know if they were already dead or not. Do you think their is hope or should I just give.
