A hen can keep many more chicks warm than she can eggs. If all eggs aren't covered, likely most won't hatch as some will be uncovered from time to time.

Here's a hen that brooded 30 chicks.

She's easily covering them all. Can't see or feel any poking out so hopefully they'll be good.

Too many pics of fluffy cuteness!

I would not be a good broody mama. 30 something kids would drive me mad!

All the broody pics are so wonderful.

Thank goodness broodies don't have to nurse chicks - they'd never survive!

3 buckeyes just went into the Styrobator hatcher. They should hatch Tuesday. BF isn't pleased. I forgot I'm traveling for work Tuesday and Wednesday.
4 turkeys left with another week to go, and 2 duck eggs also in the Brinsea with 3 weeks left to go.

I ended up buying the treadle machine. It was made in March 1905 and needs a bit of cleaning up but everything moves freely.

Yeah. First buckeye chickens...Next thing you know women will try to be president. I can totally understand your bf's frustration.
