The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[ronott1]

Do you think that works ron? If so, I'm am so going out and buying some red pepper flakes. I have 4 pullets that all should have started..well, the leghorn did, the black sex link has been checking out the nest boxes for a week, and is now squating for me. Come on already! Also a brown sex link, and a red sex link. All the same age.

I do think it works. I had the egg farmer try it last year and they started laying eggs within two days.

I guess I'm join, but I'm not sure how my hatch rate will be. I set 9 eggs earlier today.

Quick question. If a hen is feeling broody will she collect eggs for a few days before she actually starts to sit. I have a LF cochin that I think might be going broody. She was in the nest box for hours today, but the last time I went out to check she was walking around. I went a head and put a few extra eggs in the nest, there were 3 in there already. I am hoping this will entice her to sit, that way I can add to my total for the hatch along. I also personally feel that broodies do a better job than my styro incubators. Here's hoping her momma feelings are kicking in.
