Ok I'm VERY new to chickens and I have been searching the web trying to find out the answer to this question....when I see hens with a flock of 15 babies that she hatched out, how does that happen? Does she continue to lay while she is broody and sitting on the egg or can you add eggs for her to sit on from other hens? We are planning on letting one of hens go broody and would like to know what we are in for here. lol
