Hey everyone! I'm joining! I'll be getting 17 chicks on the first of March. But sometime in the spring I'm going to be having a broody hatch some eggs for me. This will be my first time letting a broody hatch eggs. I usually incubate instead. A ways I'm wondering if anyone can give me some advice? Or I can hear your experiences? I have already read a lot of broody articles and stuff. Just wanted some extra info. I'll be giving some updates and stuff when I get the mail ordered baby chicks, and when I get one of my hens broody.

First you can imagine Bubbles with safety goggles on, now you want to see her wearing blinders??? I'm starting to get a little worried about you, whites...

Not HER !!!

How do you keep it in the cup? He uses his good leg and wings to really move. Determined little bugger which given his issue is a good thing. if I ties the legs together and use deeper cup maybe.

 

[Ur-ur-ur-urrr]

do I need to tie the two legs together?

Hey, daxi! If it doesn't have splay leg, and it's a slipped tendon in it's hock, I personally would try splinting just the one bad leg. Just my 2c...

welcome Cherries!
just follow along and enjoy the ride. every now and again one of us posts their hatching adventures.

seriously though, Sally has put together an awesome collection of methods, tools and stories on page 1 that just about everyone has contributed something to.

Not HER !!!

Not her? Oh... you mean the hens!!! Oops!

Cherry! Welcome over!

I did a broody hatch once, and I literally did set-and-forget.
I did candle a few times, mostly because 90% of the 2 DOZEN eggs she was on was infertile, due to the only roo gettin dispatched shortly after set date and some sneaky hens.

Not [COLOR=800000]HER[/COLOR] !!!

It was an irrisistable window...

@Ur-ur-ur-urrr Hi, since you have Barred Rocks can you tell what the injured chick likely is?

I found out the eggs were not from the lady who sold them but hatchery eggs. Cockrel?
