why I’d theoretically only leave them for a week, so either they go broody or I take the eggs and they’re still ok.
A week is kind of a long time, but if you feel confident it won't be a problem, you can try it.
The weather is fair so that won’t be a problem, and this particular pen likes to scatter eggs so I’m not sure about that. Still pretty confident though.
Just now realized Cochins are broody type chickens.
I hope so! What is she doing????Just now realized Cochins are broody type chickens.
I have 3 hens and I think one is finally broody
Just went out to Check and after a solid 2 days on the eggs she quitI hope so! What is she doing????
My Cochin has never been broody in 4 years.
I'm sorry...Just went out to Check and after a solid 2 days on the eggs she quit
I think I jinxed it.
Unfortunately after 40 minutes she’s still not back on the nest
After waiting a week, I can confidently say one of my turkey’s is broody!
Congratulations! Can't wait to see pics! Poults are the cutest!!!!After waiting a week, I can confidently say one of my turkey’s is broody!
Unfortunately, besides turkey eggs, 2 chicken eggs ended up under her, at the same start time as the turkey eggs, so unfortunately those had to go since they wouldn’t hatch at the same time they had to go. Besides that, she’s doing a good job so far. I added a couple chicken eggs, since it’s been a week and the hatch dates will match up now. I’ll update when we have babies!
