I LOVE BROKENS!!!!

Oh, that remind me,we sold Bucky today. To my old going teacher who I haven't seen in FOREVER. It was so much fun. And we got rid of a rabbit, so it was a double whammy!

oooh-kay

 

[MissNutmeg]

Alright guys! We decided to let our hen continue sitting on eggs til...well.. they hatch. Any advice or tips? It would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure you mark the eggs she has, and remove fresh ones daily! Other than that, broodies are awesome cuz they do everything without help.

 

[MissNutmeg]

I already marked them, with an x and o, so I know she is flipping them. How often should I candle them?

 

[TheKindaFarmGal]

Don't worry about her turning them, doesn't matter at all. You just leave them alone - it's hard to resist! Candle when you want, I like to candle at days 4, 7, 10, 14 and before lockdown, but do peek occasionally on other days.

You don't need to do anything but remove fresh eggs.

 

[MissNutmeg]

Sounds easy enough! Around 18 days?

 

[TheKindaFarmGal]

Yep! For candling? Day 17 is my preferred date.

 

[MissNutmeg]

Okay, good to know! Thanks a ton!!!!

 

[TheKindaFarmGal]

YW! Keep us updated!! Probably very unnecessary to say but whatever.

 

[MissNutmeg]

Haha I will!!!
