I see an egg got smashed in one of the broody nests. I'm not sure if it was one I set. I'll have to count tomorrow.
I was gone on Tuesday and today and I see I've got 6 broody hens now instead of just 3...despite the eggs being picked by my son.
I'm glad I'll be home tomorrow to get things straightened out...lol.
We had an all day road trip to pick up a piece of machinery...and I made the most of it. (insert evil laugh)
I made last minute arrangements last night to buy 2 dozen hatching eggs from someone 2.5 hours away. I met the most lovely man who not only met us, to my surprise brought 33 eggs he had collected for himself...just so I'd have extras. Wow!
@ronott1 I think it was you who mentioned dipping eggs in a weak bleach solution before setting them? If so...could you post the solution for those of us who may wish to use it for hatching eggs that have been purchased. (Unless I missed it)
