My broody hen is still sitting on her turkey eggs and a few chickens eggs. I can hardly wait 'til they start hatching! This is our first time. It will be so much fun watching a mama hen teaching her babies.
I won't be keeping the turkeys, they'll go back to the nice lady (boxermom) who borrowed them to me to hatch. But she gave us three Americauna eggs to hatch for the broody's hard work.
On Tuesday, I go pick up four Buff Orpington chicks and four Silver-Laced Wyandotte chicks. That'll take our flock from our current 13 hens to double that. Not sure what I'll do with all those eggs though, when the time comes.
