how is your broody doing now

She is still sitting on 11 eggs. Nothing has hatched yet, other than the original 2 which she refused ( 1 died & the other 1 I gave to the Momma broody but then it died after 2 or 3 days, not sure why it died. It had been looking & acting great).
Out of the eggs I candled, only a couple look full enough to be close to hatch. I'm giving her till the end of the month & then I'm taking all of her eggs & trying to break her.

I am wondering if she is getting up for too long and the eggs are getting too chilled & dying & then rotting, or if they are rotting for other reasons. The 2 I tossed the other day were DEFINITELY rotten (Stinky!!)

It truly is that much fun and excitement - in fact, for me, that excitement never quite wears off.

I know! I can't imagine it ever getting old either.
