Helping Broody hen with water and food!

I think we all know how Broody hens really take a beating on there body trying to sit on and care for chicks. I wanted to share some photos on how I tried the lighten the load to give her access to water and food during her hard work. Enjoy!


And of coarse Mr friendly wanted to stop by and photo drop
I really enjoy how HN makes watering so easy

Easy access to feed and water once chicks are hatched is a great idea. When hens are setting it is important that they leave the nest periodically so that they do not defecate in the nest and contaminate the eggs.
