How does she know

[smokeyodie97]

I orderd some ginni eggs & pheasant eggs and how does the mom know to stop rotating the eggs and stuff. I don't really know what I mean but I hope y'all know what I mean.

good question
i think it when she see them hatching or hears them pepping, beside that only the lord knows.
and the hen

The million dollar question!! I figure she just knows. They have been doing it for centuries so I figure they know what they are doing. I think it's like human mothers and when they get the nesting instinct when they are about to go into labor maybe????
