I've got my first broody hen on a few eggs now and I hope we're as fortunate as you are!

Yay for little fuzzy butts!!!
 
GODIVA_ my husband is already wanting me to join Hatchers Anonymous and I don't get my first eggs until next week!! We made a bator and I have been watching it for 3 days now, I think it is going to work,I HOPE!!
Have been reading this site for 2 weeks now so I think I'm ready to try jumping in!!

I was wondering what does a hen do when the temp. outside is 103 or 4 what happens to the eggs, do they die cause they are to hot?
 
thank you to all who have congratulated me!! we actually ended up with 7 little fuzzy butts!! lol, too cute! i have no idea what breeds they are but maybe i can post pics here and you all can tell me?! i am too new in the game to know what is what this young or actually any age! thank you all!

GODIVA~ i agree, this is so addicting and i have been wanting more babies around the house not just the chickens! oh but wait that's another group!
 
your eggs will hatch if the have been refridgerated but will take a week or so longer to than if you had kept them at room temp
