Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

[AnneInTheBurbs]

My Broody Cinnamon is on day 21 for her eggs, no signs of hatching yet. Hopefully by tomorrow she will have some peeps!

My broody girl Cinnamon is due to hatch out her eggs today. No peeps yet when I checked on her this morning. Hopefully by tomorrow she will have some chicks!

Put a nest of fake eggs in her pen----maybe she might get in the mood.

So cute!  How many chickens do have? Looks like a great flock!

Thanks! We sure do love having them! I am not sure how many we have at the moment, I need to do a new headcount! Lol Lets see... Adult birds 1-4 years old, we have 33 hens, 3 roosters.
Pullets/cockerels... there are 12 mixed in with the main flock, then we have 10 more in a separate pen, and now the 4 new chicks. So 62 total right now.

Wowza! That's a lot!

Okay guys, might have some pics tomorrow. Last night my broody had. Two chickies under her! Six more eggs left. Fingers crossed!

Maybe it was just an active dancing chick!

:cd. At least you got one healthy one instead of two duds.

That's what I have done so I don't waste fertile eggs

My two chicks have hatched and another egg is peeping!

The chick that hatched three days ago finally has freinds!
