I have 40 eggs in the incubator and 2 broody hens that I would like to raise the chicks. I would prefer to have 3 hens for 40 eggs but the rest are not falling for the fake eggs Ieft for them.
The eggs are due to hatch in 7 days. The hens have been broody for 10 days and 7 days.
I could give the hens real eggs from the incubator
a) today,
b) the day before the hatch
c) wait till after they hatch and try to sneak chicks under them
Any advice?
