Ahhhhh! Sweet success! She ate some canned corn! So relieved to see anything pass her beak!

Well, day 20 and first egg has pipped. I am tickled pink and hopeful. . Also wondering if I need to deal with mite treatment because she seems to be itchy. Sevin dust? Before or after hatch?

If it is mites, treat them as soon as you can. A poultry science professor said mite kill more broody hens than anything else.
