Hi all,
I have a broody who has successfully raised several clutches in the past. She has been sitting on a clutch of eggs now for at least 4 days.
They are underneath the coop in the dirt.
Has anybody had chicks successfully from a nest laid in the ground?
My main concern is that the ground won't be warm enough. Our average nighttime temperature has been -7 to 0 (celsius). There's no straw or grass under the eggs, and no way of getting it in there. Any hope?
