How interesting! My broody just started to set in the last four days or so... I wonder if the hens naturally set by the moon... What were May dates? I had some chicks hatch out on May 26th under a broody.

Cool thread. My duck set her own eggs by the moon on July 17th lol. She is due 30 days from then since she is a muscovy.
I wonder if hens naturally set thier own eggs by the moon.
I have certain nightblooming flowers and cacti that will bloom on a full moon. They bloom intermittently but often really put out a huge flush around a full moon.
