Um, maybe a stupid question but if you have a broody hen, why are you wasting time with an incubator??? She would likely do a MUCH better job than you will. And you won't have to go out at "way past 0 dark thirty", stuff the chicks under her and hope she accepts them.
Curious, a guard hen
She really is. It's sort of weird.
Thanks so this thread I know how to break a broody hen! w00t! Seriously a couple stressful days. Haha.
