I have a hen who's been broody for four wks now. She has hatched three I took them because she kept stealing eggs from other hens and I want her to hatch them all. Had two others go broody within two wks so they all have eggs and I am praying for all of them to hatch. This is the best part of raising chickens, just no roosters plz have to many now, lol
