    I put 18 eggs into lockdown last night in the hatcher and put three additional eggs under a broody. The broody is a young chantecler that is low in the pecking order and "hiding" in a seldom used nesting box. She's a very nice girl, even when broody! Last Saturday was the Oregon Chicken Swap...
