To the peeps that have their lovely hens hatch their eggs....
How can you tell who will be a good momma? What would you say your hen's success rate is?
If last year was any indication, I have a persistent broody, who insisted on brooding nothing all summer. I would take her out, put her in a broody breaker cage, and she'd quit and literally three days later, back in the nest box.
This year, I'm thinking about letting her raise some eggs. I'm just trying to figure out if I should make an investment out of this, or not.
Thanks for your broody momma information!!!!
