This is my first broody, she has been sitting on a pair of golfballs for 3 days now.
I just got back in from loading her up with 7 eggs.
Hope all goes well, I will be updating this thread until hatching.
I marked all the eggs with the date they were laid (yesterday and today) and the name of the chicken that laid them hehe
I chose not to separate her from the others, my flock is pretty nice, and the cockerel is very protective of his ladies.
I will be watching carefully and if things get out of hand, I have a place to put her and the chicks, but I hope that she can raise them with the rest of the flock.
of the 7 eggs under her, we will have 4 ee's, 2 delaware/ee, and 1 bo/ee
kinda interested to see what an ee/delaware mutt looks like
I just hope that most of them hatch out
I didn't want to overload her, this will be her first hatch, so thats why I only put 7 under her... if I get only 4 or so, that will be fine.
I will put pics up later, I have a football game to watch now, WAR EAGLE !!
