While I was sleeping during the first half of Hurricane Irene I expected to wake up with no power at all. I was very very lucky as half of Southington did not have power. Granted I did receive damage to the peacock pen, that was the only structure that was damaged. Well anyways I went to check on the water in the incubator to be sure it was full and looky what I found! LOL! It hatched during the hurricane and quietly layed in the goose tray until I opened the lid. I placed it in the hatcher to dry. I named it Irene. Whether it is a peahen or Peacock it will forever be named Irene (if it is male it will be H. Irene)
Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
