My broody Pricilla

[Stanlyb]

Any advice on letting a hen hatch her own eggs? My fleur merl, pricilla is sitting on two eggs as of today. Im going to let her do her thing and see what happens. But any advice is welcome.

She knows what to do Is this your first time with a broody? Do you have roosters or just fertile eggs? Hopefully they hatch and she becomes a mother!

 

[CanadaEh]

not sure how many other chickens you have and if they are laying, but hope you know that allowing broody hen means significant drop in other hens egg production...

Let her hatch them, she know what to do.

Not first time with a broody hen, but it's the first time letting her keep the eggs. I'm not concerned with egg production, I've got 16 hens and two roos. Just thought i might let her do her thing this time.

She’ll hatch, raise, and feed them, all on her own.
