I can't remember if I mentioned this here of not. I think it is perfectly fine and normal for the broodies to get off the nest in our area this time of year. I've seen this...never sitting on the nest...with my own eyes...and all eggs hatch. I wouldn't worry about her too much. I haven't looked up your weather but am assuming it's similar to mine.

It’s been really hot here but the eggs never feel that warm. I still don’t leave any eggs in the coop though. I’d love to donate all these broodies. We bought chickens for their eggs, not to hatch babies.

Yes I think it because of my stupid mistake of counting the days since the eggs were layed not the days that I had them in the incubator

It's ok. You know now for next time.

Just read the PR regs for shipping chickens, I would have to win the lottery first.

Do it

Do it

I've added it to list for sure.
I'm trying to figure out now if I need to go ahead and change her hatch certificate.

I have yet to name any of mine. They’re just “the chicks” currently

It's ok. Only half of my real flock has names.

Just wondering bc you all are very knowledgeable regarding chick hatching. How long has everyone kept chickens? I'm really loving all the info I'm learning following these active threads and it just had me wondering. I just got my first chickens last year and really didn't have any experience with them. I didnt grow up around chickens but I'd been wanting a backyard flock for years. I familiarized my myself with breeds and housing and am trying to learn the rest as I go. I started with 9 pullets and am constantly adding and subtracting from my flock until I get exactly what I want.
