Broody Hatchalong!

Sure is!

Oh, dear. Well, yay! But also oh dear. Are you going to let her sit?

Lol! Idk. Not on fertile eggs, but I may give her a chick or two later on.

How many eggs is Ivy on? Maybe you could give Azalea a couple of hers.

If I hatch my eggs from my incubator but have a broody hen on fake eggs, can give her chicks on the hens 21 day even though the chicks will be 10 days old?

Also, one of my hens is back on the eggs and growls at me.

And I can finally see the embryo moving around the egg when candling!!

Give the hen the chicks when they are no more than a few days old. It doesn’t matter if she’s been sitting for the full three weeks or not. And that’s great the the hen seems to be going broody again! I gave Fudge four days before I gave her any eggs.

Thank you!



And to think I broke the broodiness...

Do you think I could give her the eggs when lockdown starts? Let her hatch them?

She's on 4. I could give Azalea some infertile eggs to sit on too and then give her chicks later.
I did just check on her though and she's off of them so maybe she's just pretending.

X2!!!

I would wait until she's been broody for at least a week.

She threw in a free Marans!

Perfect!!! My eggs are on day 11 so if they stay broody through the night then the timing should be perfect!
