Chicken broody?

[shellikirbey]

My first experience with broody chicken.she has been staying in coop all day but just a little while out of it..she stays in and whines all day and fights me for the eggs.so I went and got a dozen fertile eggs and put in her box and she went right back in and sat on them and pushed all under her..think she really is broody..I hope she hatches these

How fun! Good luck!

Thanks..I'm excited to see if she hatches them..

My Rooster is just a little to young still for my hens to have fertile eggs..

I have checked one egg and looks like mass in it..brown egg hard to see veins
