No, she sits there scratching at the ground clucking. She must be my most dedicated one yet, she’ll easily step back into her box. I’ll try again in the morning.

What a good girl! ❤

Thank you. I hope she keeps them safe in the cold weather, gonna get down in the 20s. And when I let her out during the day, I keep the eggs against my body, just to keep them warm.

One time.. my eggs got drenched and so did the hen but they still hatched.

Still brooding like there’s no tomorrow.
But, she pooped. Outside her enclosure too.

When will I have a chance at spotting veining or any other sign of life if I candle at this point? And man, I need to try getting her to do her potty’s more often…. She wait and then it stinks.

What day are the eggs on? Should be able to see veins in 3-5 days. Sooner in white eggs than darker egg colors.

But, no getting hopes up, it’s going 19 degrees F tonight.
