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

Before anybody assumes something dirty

Not unusual for a hen to leave the nest for a while; they've got to eat & drink once in a while. I'd watch her, & fire up the incubator again, in case she quits the eggs altogether & you have to take over.

for how long can the broodies leave the nest? I yesterday found mine out and I am not sure for how long she was there. her nest is a bit hidden so she was desperate when I found her. she might have been off for maximum 40 minutes, but I think and hope about 20. the temperature at that time was about 57.

Before anybody assumes something dirty (well, that always helps too

) but I "let" my hubby buy a new pistol, if I could set more eggs. Didn't think it was a very fair trade for me, but he was gonna buy it anyway, so I still came out alright!

And by the way, @kwhites634 - I got him to help me move the baby coop into my wood shop last night!

(and that was AFTER he cleaned the duck pool!) That really was a nice pistol

Ya done good!

30 min to an hour is normal
