Just got home peeked in the coop and now no one is brooding those eggs? I never had a chicken brood before. I need to educate myself on this issue. Any know of a good thread for this?

I did a search in the learning center and found lots to read going to start here

Learning centre has some pretty great info on broodies. I just let my gals set on eggs I mark to make sure I don't collect them, no more work required... Love my broodies.

There is peeping coming from the hatcher I'm anxious to see what hatches. I'm thinking maybe by morning there should be some fluffy butts in there

Little concerned because everyone is roosting tonight and not brooding. The learning center was very helpful and now I know why one of my chickens is missing breast feathers.
