Hello
My New Hampshire Red hen just laid her first clutch of eggs and I am very happy that she finally started laying(put the eggs in the freezer).
I checked one egg and found out that it is fertilized(the blastroderm, I believe?) (she is also being mated by my grandma's rooster) and I'm thinking of hatching them to chicks, but we don't have an incubator so a broody hen would be nice. How can I make a hen broody? I heard that putting eggs in the nest box will encourage broodiness, but not quite sure...
Thanks in advance!
