Incubation time.

[Rakaiachick]

Isn't this the best feeling in the world, when you have set your eggs in the incubator. 3 weeks always feels like such a long time to wait. This time I'm using a broody hen as well. First time using a broody and it's my broodys first time so I'm hoping all will work out. My broody has been dutifully sitting since the weekend on an empty nest as I kept taking her eggs aswell as any others that managed to be lay while she was of feeding pooping and drinking and she has plucked her breast feather out. I don't have a rooster so have brought fertile hatching eggs for her.

I find the three weeks go really fast.
Probably not for the hen though!
How many eggs do you have & what breed(s)?
Enjoy your hatching!

4 araucana, 8 barred rock, and 8 barnevelder. 14 are in the incubator and 6 under my hen. She is a light sussex so a good broody breed

My main broody is a LS too!
She first hatched at 6 months old.
I want to see chick pics when they hatch!
