Natural Hatching w/ Broody Hen - I think I'm doing it wrong! :(

[old1953]

She should be fine, when she's got a nest full enough to suit her she'll just flatten out and stay there. Just try to keep the rest of the flock from swarming in and laying more eggs under her. Unless it gets so hot she knows the eggs won't survive, she should stick to the nest. I've seen a turkey kill herself sitting on infertile eggs, there wasn't a tom around, poor thing.

And thanks for the welcome Perchie.girl.
