Broody update

[hcammack]

my broody ameraucana is now down to 4 eggs on day 15 I am thinking about buying some chicks to put under her once the eggs hatch so she has some more babies. She has under her a wellsummer egg, one olive egger egg, and two delaware eggs. Wish her luck in her last few days I have to make her a little area in the coop.

Mine is sitting on 5. She will raise them with her flock, or not; I am not going to separate them. I did mark the eggs, and am removing extras she adds, but that is the only help she will get from me.

hmmm I might have to try that I really worry about the other girls going after the chicks though so I might have to make the little area for her around the nest boxes I have 7 nests and only one laying hen.
