INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Chaos18]

Never set chicks under a broody before, so I have a question:

After chicks hatch & mama lets them go exploring, do they have sense enough to get back into the chicken yard through the 2x4 welded wire fence when mama calls them?

My big chickens sometimes don't have the smarts to go through an open door so I don't know if chicks would have the smarts to go back through the fence to momma.

Nope...all fingers unscathed this time

Good I was worried about that. Wood tends to bounce wherever it wants

Congratulations then. Does this human know when it's supposed to hatch? I just sound busy, I'm not really. Incubating chickens eggs is wicked easy. Put them in the incubator and go on about life.

Day not very many. I think it's either 3 or 4 I set them Sunday night.

Oh so the fun has just begun

Well have to run off to work.

Maybe because the chicks would have more openings to choose from they could get it right.
