Oh dear, well one broke is sad, but hey you have 6 eggs to play with! That’s is a goodly amt for a first time mama.Willow smashed an eggI think that it was a fertile one too. I stole ALL of her eggs, and candled them. Out of the 13, 1 broken, so 12, we have 6 fertile eggs. How many are alive? I have no idea.
Also, I have her brooding house all planned out.
I told my dad about it and he just grabbed a really big wooden box, and took the door off -because it was once our old cabinet- and shoved it in the coop on some cinder blocks. We are gonna make a hoop around it with chicken wire so that she has a little run, and we are all good.
It's so annoying but it may work. Except my dad wont freaking do anything now. I'm going to laugh in his face if Willow doesn't like it. I'll get some pictures of it later.
Hopefully she will like her new safe home. I would put her in there and then put her eggs under her. Make sure you mark the eggs so you know which are hers incase someone lays eggs and adds to them. An X on the eggs is good.
When I have incubates or hatched them I put the date laid and date stuffed under the hen. You won’t know the date laid though.
