ive got some pullets and a roo with them how long after they start laying before i can try hatching out some eggs i know for a while they might be small eggs but kinda wanted to have some ideas on the time after they start to lay
If you have a hen that has broody instincts, she could start showing brooding behavior very early on. Once she starts laying and her eggs reach normal size, you could start seeing brooding instincts within a month or so. Sorry there is no real specific answer that I have seen...it really all depends on the type of chick and the way it was raised (IE..ones raised by their mother hens tend to show more broody instincts) Best Wishes, Laura
