We've had a hen sitting in the nest for about 3 months! Today I decided to get her off the nest, and clean out the eggs. When I threw some treats in the chicken yard, she came running out to get some. Aha! I closed the door so she couldn't get back in, and decided this was a good time to clean out the eggs. I took 7 eggs out of there, and when I reached for more, I saw 2 little eyes staring at me. She finally hatched an egg! I left the rest of the eggs in there, and let her back in the coop to take care of things. I can hear it now. "Do you have any idea how many months I labored with you?"
Here's the question: Will I need to get some chick starter today, and if not, how long can I wait before offering it? Thanks for any replies.
