Day 19 under Broody

[brandon00733]

I've looked and googled a lot but I can't seem to find the answer to this question. Do the other chickens in our flock know that the eggs are close to hatching? I only ask because they've been noisier and really interested in where our Broody is with her "foster" eggs This is our first time we've had a chicken go Broody and our first hopeful hatch!

Well they must have known something was up because 3 babies have hatched today! They weren't due until tomorrow!
