but I overthink things and like to plan ahead...my husband will tell you WAY ahead. I am getting a couple of breeds specifically because they are known to go broody. My goal is to occasionally have a broody or two who will hatch her own and others' eggs.
I have looked but haven't found the answer to my specific questions which are:
"If and when a hen goes broody, do you then have time to find and secure eggs from other sources?"
And
if you want her to try to hatch her own fertile eggs as well as some of some other chickens which you don't have on hand yet...how do you do that, time that etc? How do you insure they all hatch the same day?
Thanks
