Interesting. I put a dozen eggs under her. This weekend I'll candle and see how things are going.
So here's my question for the day. What exactly do broody hens live on? My hen hasn't left the nest FOR ONE MINUTE in 7 days. She only eats when I hand feed her, and she only takes a few bites and she's done.
All she wants to do is brood and sleep.
I'm the only person that she'll let near her. She'll even let me reach under her and look at her eggs. When my wife or kids even goes near the cage, she grows like a dinosaur. It's funny. In my house, all the animals like me best. The chickens, the cats, the parakeets. Funny.
