This is certainly an amazing thread to be following. The good Lord and all his creatures are such a wonderful blessing to us. Thank You for sharing this story with BYC. This puts a smile on my face and a twinkle in my soul!

She is still sitting. If I calculate 21 days from when I found her, it should be this Wednesday. But if I take into consideration that since there are so many eggs under her and development may be slower, I would think maybe later in the week. I keep looking and listening of little peeps whenever I check on her. She does seem to be getting very fiesty and protective. When I go to check on her she sort of growls and rears here tail feathers up at me. I have checked on the eggs a few times and she pecks at me too.

Also wanted to add that I have a space heater in the garage with her to keep the room temp a little warmer. Most recently I added a heat lamp to the cage for when the fuzzy butts make an appearance I want to make sure that they are warm enough too.

As some of you have said that 32 eggs may be too many and since this is my first broody, I wanted to give every egg a chance here. Depending on this hatch, in the future when I get a broody I will limit the number of eggs to maybe a dozen or so eggs.
