Hi :)
One of my laying hens is going to be broody (shows sign of begining the progress) but her wing feathers are clipped. Is it a problem? I have had a broody with clipped wings in the past and NONE of the eggs hatched - but I don't know if the clipped wings were the reason for that. Would really appriciate your help :)
 
As long as the eggs are fertile to begin with, there is no reason a hen with clipped wings can't successfully incubate them.
Thamks. I was told a few times that a hen must have her wing feather in order to keep the heat......
