Oh How wonderful for you fresh eggs. , I know I have already been thinking about next year , to hatch some egg's . I haven't told my husband yet ..
I hope I will have a broody hen. My neighbor rented a chicken from a man to brood his egg's . Had no idea you could rent a chicken. But now I know . I love learning about all this chicken stuff. Let me know when your other seven start laying. How exciting for you.
I will do that! It is very exciting!!
I have a free-ranger game hen, who's already gone broody once in the 6 weeks I've had her. She didn't have any eggs to hatch, though, and now I'm waiting for it to pass so she'll lay eggs again. I've been told game hens are very broody and make excellent mothers.
