Ok, I am on here day and night and I read about everyone and their broody's. I have been so jealous! Well today my BLRW stayed on her nest all day and is in there tonight. OMG I am so excited! I know it is only one (half) day ....but still. So I know I want chicks and I know which kind I want and cottagegarden has an auction right now for exactly what I want. It ends in 13 hours. Should I wait to see if my hen will stay on her nest? This is her first time acting broody. How long do I wait? I don't have a incubator, of course I could get one but I really wanted my hens to hatch them. Here are some more questions, so sorry but I am excited and I want to know what to do
1. If she stays broody and I order eggs do I have to let them "rest" like you do when you put them in an incubator?
2. Do I put the new eggs under her at night?
3. How many eggs can a hen sit on?
4. Do you think buying eggs on auction for a broody hen to sit on is a good idea?
Please my trusted friends, Help me.
