Congrats on Pippin!! My chicken Harriet is broody and sitting on 5 fertile eggs. They are all developing( I candled them) and she is a great mom ( last year she hached out 2 chicks . Crossing my fingers for Pippin and Harriet

What day is she on?
Good luck Harriet and Pippin!

I really hope she can have chicks, she is so determined! Pippin has gone broody 4 times and it hasn't even been a year since she started laying!

Hi, I’m Sue and I have a broody on Day 19. I hadn’t even thought of looking for a hatchalong before now. This is Violetta, just one year old. She’s half Spitzhauben half Sebright. She went broody 2 times in April, so I decided to let her be a mama. I only gave her 2 eggs since we have enough chickens. One looks like it quit, but I’m not sure, so I’ve left it. The other is definitely still alive. Today I closed off the coop and run that she occupies and so she’s in a sort of lockdown. I don’t know how she will fare, but we’ll find out soon!

We will join! My broody Ruth, has a week to go. Started w 10 eggs (from my ameraucana hens / BCM rooster), 9 going strong.


Her sister, Rose, is on day 5. Only gave her 5 eggs. I am thinking I will sneak in some extra chicks later.



Credit where it’s due, broody hen, Popeye, started this broody trend in our coop. Her babies are almost a month old. She has 5 Olive egger babies.
