Yes your hen will most probably pass it on to her chicks! It happened to me but luckily all the chicks made it! Oh and my chicks were only 2 days old when they got it...
I have got another broody due on the 18th of August! Found her in our tree house, which we haven't been in for a while! I also found another nest of eggs(no broody yet) under our hay bale stack! I hope she also goes broody soon!
Actually they are due on Wednesday but I can already hear them chirping inside their eggs so I think there will be some little fluff balls tomorrow morning!
Tomorrow...tomorrow...tomorrow! I cant wait for tomorrow as my broody has got 14 eggs due and when I candled them earlier on (day 16) everything was still fine! Cant wait YAY!!!!!
I have two more broodies due on the 13th of August! They went broody together(on the same day, not in the same nest...!
#1 has 11 eggs
#2 has 12 eggs!
Cant wait for them to hatch...
So.....I wanted to start a thread for us 'Chicken Mommies/Daddies that will have little chickies in August! So here is my STORY!
I have got 4 hens left that are laying that should hopefully go broody( I also have 3 broodies on eggs and 5 broodies with 48 little chickies!! One of the nest boxes...
