A friend had one of his hens go broody, but he had no fertilized eggs. I gave him some of mine from my orps to hatch. He brought them over today. I'm ecstatic.
These were the first eggs hatched from chickens in my stewardship. This is so rewarding. Can't wait to hatch them in my incubator (one week to go)
They are presently with their mother in isolation for a few weeks. The mother even laid me an egg today in there new home. Does that mean she's done with these chicks? When I left the chicks alone they just huddled in the corner. As soon as I put mom in they were all running around drinking water and eating starter. So, it seems, they still want her.
I'm so
happy.
