Since then she also collected a couple others. She now has 36.
I'll try to get a pic tomorrow.
Before her I once had a hen set on 23 eggs and hatch 23.Ours hatched 24 in one batch, but she was sitting on 26 eggs. Youper,
how many did yours hatch?
Moonshiner, do you sell yours?
@Upper Brook House Farm are you in the UK?
Before her I once had a hen set on 23 eggs and hatch 23.
I can't remember how many this one hatched of her own.
She hatched hers then immediately took over a different hens nest and hatched that clutch. That was 30 chicks.
I added 1 that I hatched in incubator so then 31. She's been loose with others and has stolen 5 others so now 36.
I haven't except a few males and a few ducklings.
Sometime in the future I might sell eggs, IDK
Does that mean more ducklings for you?I had suspicions, but couldn't find it for about two weeks until today when I followed the broody mom back to her well hidden nest.
I think it's too late to get rid of the eggs, because I don't want to kill them. Tonight I am going to move her and her eggs into the barn where it's safe though.
