My First Broody!

[Brahma Chicken5000]

If you have your eggs in an incubator, that is easier. If you poke and prod at the hen every day to candle the eggs, you could break her of her broodiness.

That’s what I’m concerned about. I don’t want to break her by stressing her out.

Will Charlotte sit a full 21 days on the fertile eggs if she’s been sitting on unfertilized eggs since Thursday evening?

Maybe, maybe not. Most do, but some will get restless.

Oh. I sure hope she will. I’m getting so nervous.

Good luck.

Do you have a bator just in case?
If not do you have an ice chest?

 

[Brahma Chicken5000]

Good luck.

Thank you.

I have an incubator. I guess I should set it up just in case.
