EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

Doing things the hard way I guess.

A lot of my chickens do that. ^.^


For what it's worth, the hen I was worried about has settled herself into the back corner and I don't see the eggs... so i'm hoping it's a good sign.

there is no limit to people stupidity!!

I couldn't agree more.
We're going to spend billions to build a wall on the southern border, even though the vast majority of undocumented aliens arrive by plane from Asia.
Meanwhile in Mexico -

I have a crazy hen I think I'm either going to sell or cage to break her broodiness.
She was broody each night, flattened out on eggs in a trance but come out of it during the day. I wanted a broody so I stuck her in another unit with just a rooster and kept them locked up. She stayed on 12 eggs in there and when I finally opened the door, during the day she flew the coop and joined her old flock.
I wasn't sure how here on and off nature affected the eggs so I put them in the incubator.
I only got one egg to hatch from them and it was 5 days late.
She spent the day today walking around foraging with her flock and right now she's flattened out on eggs in the nest box.
