My First broody Hen Hatch

[oldhenlikesdogs]

Do you plan to try to sneak it back to mom or are you going to brood anymore that hatch?

I think I'll raise it myself, this is a first time mom and she is overwhelmed with the two babies. Plus I have read that with human interaction at a young age can make them more docile. PS: Anouther egg has piped!

That's wonderful, one chick would be so lonely.

Very exciting! I have 3 hens sitting on eggs. I think there is about 11 eggs. I didn't count. It's so exciting to read about hatchlings! Congrats!
