Well, when a bird is setting on eggs to hatch, she won't be laying.Is it harmful to egg production to let the chickens hatch their own eggs once in a while?
Yes.Is it harmful to egg production to let the chickens hatch their own eggs once in a while?
Lucky you. My 12 girls are 10 months old, and so far have had 2 get broody. They did not get to go for even a couple days before I intervened. Just won the battle with a barnyard mix and a Welsummer. What breeds do you have?Yes.
Chickens when they are setting on eggs (broody) don't lay eggs.
They usually don't lay eggs while raising chicks.
Some breeds are more broody than others and some may go broody 2 or 3 times yearly.
Myself I got chickens for eggs, so I seek out Non-broody types/breeds.
So far in 5 years I've not had a chicken go broody. GC
