I posted yesterday about moving a broody hen and her eggs.
we were off yesterday was day 21 on egg 1. At 12:30 she was on the eggs. At 3:30 I found her moved over a nesting box and Easter egger in her box. The eggs were cold to touch and there was a chick.
I removed the chick and egg and put the remaining 3 eggs back under her. She would not return to the original box but accepted the eggs back.
with that we moved her last night with the remaining eggs. She immensely collected everyone and pulled them
Back in under her and settled in. I caught her rearranging them under her this morning. Is there any change the remaining eggs will survive ? They are all due to hatch by weeks end. I’d guess tomorrow on one and Wednesday the other #3 im not sure it was a transplant.
I hope the pic of when I found her off the eggs is okay.
The other is her settled in her new space.
