Oh thats so sad! I can see why broodies can be worse. My incubator has higher hatch rates than my broody.

I have only hatched with a broody hen once though. I was visiting her chicks one day and I found one that wasn't opening it's eye. The eye was infected and she ended up losing her eye. I still don't know if she got pecked or what. She is now my sweet girl, Puffle.

We had 4 BO hatch out 8 chicks. Two of them co-parented 4 of the chicks. They all did a great job until the hawks discovered them. Four survived, one was a rooster we had for several years. We now order chicks from a hatchery and brood them until they are big enough to integrate with the flock, and don't lose them to hawks any more.

and here I thought you were talking about people from North Dakota aka ND or nodaks.

I have my eye on two NDs. I wish I could get them ASAP!

That would sort of make sense???

I hate hawks. Too bad that they are everywhere.

Then you could sit out in your back area and watch the flock. They're fun to watch.

and she likes sitting on her back area
