Setting on her eggs

[chuckachucka]

I agree with @EggSighted4Life about leaving broodies where they are as ling as its safe. Also chickens don't imprint. Chicks have seen me first many a time but as soon as they get the feel of their real mother they start seeing me as just the crazy giant who comes and stares at them and sometimes brings the dreaded Hands of Certain Doom with her.

The little black hen is absolutely gorgeous, by the way!

Thanks everyone!! I wish I had a Cemani!! I’m not 100% sure that she a Black Japanese Bantam but that’s the closest I could come. I received her from McMurray last year, she’s almost a year old. She’s very sweet but so loud, she likes to scream!! She’s only about 1.5 lbs maybe a lil smaller.

I know that her eggs are fertile because I have 8 of her eggs left in the incubator and they are all looking good. When I candle them I see the embryo moving.!!

Those pics had much more detail of color. She is still a pretty gal!

Huh... I never thought to take my light TO my eggs and candle right there!
