I was thinking about broody hens, I know you can slip other chicken eggs under them (I have done that) but I have heard of people using them to hatch out peafowl and other birds. My thought (well question rather) if chicken eggs hatch in 21 days and say pheasants hatch in 24 days after day 18 will she stop turning them? I mean how does she know that those eggs wont hatch for 3 more days? Or if you put turkey eggs under her those take 28 days, after 21 will she give up or will she continue to set there until they hatch? I am just curious. I don't have any broodies yet but when I do I would like to put pheasant or ever turkey eggs under her. Thanks
