how to get chicken warm?

[aart]

I guess I should explain that I came to this analogy when people would ask how a hen could lay an egg without a rooster present.
So, a female of any species will release an ova on the timing of her cycle without the need to be fertilized.
That was my reason for the comparison.

That is a more accurate explanation.
Ovaries between the species much more similar than the uterus.

OK, I'll say it: " How to keep a chicken warm" Well, pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F. prepare potatoes, and salad......... I'm bad

You are bad but here you go.

I apologize for that prior statement. I would never eat my pets! Maybe their eggs, but not my hens!

I don't remember eating one of my hens yet (other than meat birds) but that's the reason they don't get names. They have numbers.
I have eaten hundreds of cockerels though. Mine are livestock. The eggs are great but so is the meat.

Sitting on a golf ball, makes me wonder which hole she was playing on the course?
I'm usually done, and sit, after the 18th hole!

I'm not sure she ever even got out of the Clubhouse. As sweet as she was, I really think little Henny Penny was a few putters short of full bag!

You would say that birds don't technically menstruate. I guess because there isn't release of blood but the process is the release of an ova from the ovary. The only mammals that lay eggs are echidna and platypus. So I guess even though they are mammals they don't technically menstruate because after they release the ova, it gets encased in albumen, membranes and shells. Just like a bird does.
Blood isn't released because the ova is encased in a shell. But it is still timed with release of ova.

TMI, for SURE!
Not really, it's all chalked up to "Learning," but Whew!!!!!

Ummm - nope. If ya just wanna keep her warm, you'll need to shove the temp down to about 200. If you don't, she'll dry out while the taters are cookin'!


... and BTW, I can't eat my girls, either. I can't even eat my fellers ... which is why my bachelor flock is the biggest one on the place!

Odd that she is broody when it's so cold! Glad you found her and can break the cycle. Just keep an eye on her, my Orphington would go broody 3 times back to back before we got Jack the rooster

@ChickenCanoe I had a broody pullet this past summer who would kick the eggs out of the nest. She wanted to brood, but she didn't like having eggs under her lol

Wow...
