Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread
- Thread starter michaelinnc84
- Start date
just delt with some broody RIR caos. The mama who just hatched went to take her lil ones out and the other mama RIR called them under her. So I interveined. Had to. Blocked off the babie stealer and cleaned out the new mama's nest. Gave her her lil ones back. I didn't count. I think she has 10!
ok, I stand corrected. They are moving about the coop and I count 8. The 4 remaining eggs are in the bator. Not holding out a lot of hope for them. But if any hatch they go directly to mama red!
Broody hen was off her eggs with two chicks and all the other eggs are cool and one is starting to hatch.

X2 or give it to another broody if there on one sitting on infertile eggs....
that doesn't always work. I've seen too many broody's kill chicks that weren't theirs. Back to their own mother is the best thing to do
