Pretty good book, just sayin'... ;-)

I went out to check on my Buckeye hen to see if any of her 4 eggs had hatched. Nope! She is not even on them. Two are in front of her breast and two behind her, her body is not touching them only her feathers. What would y'all do with this hen that keeps going broody and does not know what to do? I'm at my wits end with her and this hatching business!

Dunno.... Stuff the eggs back under her and hope for the best?

Get a silkie or two to use as natural incubators

Maybe they are too warm and she knows it, letting them cool down a little?

 

[chickadoodles]

I hope.

I don't know if she has a clue what she is suppose to be doing.

Do any of us?

Did you calibrate her?
