Oh I was mostly joking about having her raise all those.
Our attempt this year was not to self raise any chicks, and to let the broody hens and Jenny's raise them all for us. Unfortunately, we had one of each give up so now we're going to be raising a bunch.
Thankfully we do seem to have one...
We bought a second incubator yesterday. We took around 10 eggs to it, then she got back on them... And then abandoned them again an hour later.
We ended up filling up the incubator....
And now she's sitting on an empty nest. I'm not going to worry about it too much, hopefully we didn't lose...
She was in the corner and we thought she had about eight eggs. She's been standing and walking around all day and not gone back to them.. this gave me the opportunity to see her nest and it has around 28 eggs in it. Which is insane.
What should we do, we don't want to leave them overnight...
