A family member of mines has d same kind of hens an they go broody all the time. But mines dont. i dont know exactly what kind of chicken it is. I want them to go broody. But they start an then stop an abandon the eggs. I dont kno why they are not committing to the hatch.

I have coturnix quail and just checked them and put them into my hatcher. I checked them with a flashlight and out of 235 at 20 days old only about 20 weren't good but the others looked promising ill let you know the hatch rate in 2-4 days.
