We have two hens who have been broody for over a month I have tried everything even the wire floor cage, as soon as they are back with the flock they go broody again. I feel bad for them would it hurt to let them hatch a couple eggs each? Is there any chance they could, It is December in Iowa and pretty cold some days under 0 there coop is not heated though it keeps the wind out well. Just wanted the proffesionals opinion What can I do?
Thanks

I have 5 hens w/ chicks running around now, different ages, and I have 2 hens sitting on eggs. If you want some chicks, give them hens some eggs, they know what they are doing and will hatch and raise em for ya.......................good luck..........
