Broody or bator...that is the question??

[GAhen]

Well, if I am not mistaken I think I have my first broody. My partridge rock, Lucy, is sitting on three eggs. BamaChicken is sending me a dozen eggs today, so here is the question.
Should I use my broody or my bator for these shipped eggs??
Thanks for any in-put.

I would personally use a broody! It is so much easier and less stressfull. My broody just hatched out a perfect little chick last night.

I prefer broodies. I have two sitting right now (a silkie hen and a clean faced tailed araucana pullet).

Well maybe you should have the bator ready in case your broody quits(unless she is a proven broody),,,I had one quit and my eggs were cold but they are in the bator now and still viable
