Oh NO! I'm sorry for your struggles. I get that, I have a... very interesting dental history despite only being a teenager. (Mostly due to my abnormally small mouth.) I had to have six baby teeth extracted because they just... wouldn't come out... When I got braces, the dentists decided that my mouth was so small that an expander would be unsafe. I had to get two adult teeth removed. I also apparently have such an abnormal mouth that I have no wisdom teeth on top. According to x-rays, they are not even developing. (hey, at least it'll save money and pain when the time comes to remove them!)
I also have a tooth prosthetic 🙃
I haven't been able to eat corn on the cob or whole apples for 8 years due to it being right in the front. Thankfully, I've learned to eat in a weird way so as not to break it.
Hope your recovery goes smoothly!
I don't have wisdom teeth either. Years back I was told that I would never get them
 
I have them locked up so hopefully she understands that she needs to lay them in the nesting boxes if she wants to go broody :lol: 😅
Oh my gosh, this reminds me of my funniest broody experience. Our neighbor called to tell us that our Mille Fleur D'Uccle hen Watermelon was in her bushes. We came over to pick her up and found 14 EGGS under the bush! She'd been coming to the neighbor's yard to sit on them. We put them in the nest box, and of course then Watermelon wanted nothing to do with them. Thankfully our black bantam Cochin Cassiopeia adopted them. Only two of them hatched because of improper incubation due to being in the neighbor's yard. Cassiopeia kicked the bad eggs out of the nest box and some of them broke. So stinky! Thankfully, Bloom and Fluff Ball (my cousin, who was 8 at the time, named him lol) were raised well, even with their deadbeat bio mom. And, we added chicken wire to the bottom of the fence!

I'm kind of hoping this hen does incubate her eggs because I'm excited to see what she produces.
Even though she's pet quality, our rooster came from a breeder.
I'm currently on a waitlist for a different breeder for hatching eggs from her Serama flock.
