Nope, I put a stop to the house laying and she resorted back to the porch. So she will set on the porch this time around. I know what mom is thinking in letting her hatch. Really it is grandma who wants her to hatch again. Her health is declining steadily, she does not know it, but some of the tests they are doing is looking for cancer. She has been in congestive heart failure now for 15 years, that is also worsening at a rapid speed since the stroke. Yes, she still can drive us crazy half the time. The chickens seem to be one of the few things anymore that make her truly happy, especially the mommas and babies. I think it is terrible timing for me to have a hen hatch. I do not know or honestly think that she will be able to see them hatch next year. I pray that I'm wrong, but this steady decline is alarming.
