That's how I got up to 110 eggs myself besides buying and swaping.....champer I see you are sorta close I have Blue Coppers and will be going to the poultry show close to you in January did you really want to hatch or just have some hens that lay dark eggs? Just PM me if you're interested I have both right now.

Hatchable eggs daily from the coop can get one into trouble.

Oh I can definately see that! But I've already invested in an incubator, broody pen and lamp, feeders etc, it would be wasteful to quit now, wouldn't it?

And chicks all over. I was going INSANE trying to keep up with the mess. The thing that irritates me the most about broodies is they will knock over their water dish and bury it within 0.000546 seconds of me placing it in their area in order to "show the chicks how to look for food."

Welcome to the club

I went out to get the eggs, but I must have forgotten to yesterday. Hissyfit was on a nest of about 10 eggs.
