Yay, company! This is the first hatch I've done at home for myself, instead of doing it at school with donated eggs! I had shipped or picked up Cochin, EE, Americana, frizzle cochin, Welsummer, Black Copper Maran, Birchin Maran, Splash Maran, Old English Creole, and a couple mixed eggs, all in my new Genesis 1588, due the 10th!! 43 eggs in all, and keeping my fingers crossed...

all right I'm in good company.

This is pictures of the broodys, not great pictures as they are closed up tight in there pet taxi nest with larger taxi in front for food water and pooping. I just have a small enough opening to feed and water. This is were I put my hand in to take the pictures.
The red hen is #2 , the black hen is #3 the brown hen #4.

I've got a broody with 2 eggs due 6/5 and 4 due 6/8...thought I had 2 broodies, but doesn't stay more than a few hours at a time, though she's clearly half-baked. I'll give her back the eggs if she stays at night.

I'm not sure what to do about the different hatch dates. I think I'll be carrying them around in my bra!

Quote:
If you have her in a pet taxi you can just keep in closed till the others hatch.
If not and your able to I would take the first chicks, let her set till the 2nd one's hatch . You can hand raise the 1st ones or try to give them back after the 2nd ones hatch do this all at night.

more company this is great.

I have another hen that is broody

I'll have to wait and see if she is really into it before I set her with eggs. And if she is then after broody #2 gets done with her taxi.
I may set her. So I may be up for a trade of eggs.

I have my first broody hen whose due to hatch on June 10th & 11th. Just moved her to her dog crate tonight (and boy what a fight that was) hopefully I can break up her somewhat broody sister hen (she's on the nest, off the nest, sharing the nest yada yada) so my girls will get back into production. My broody is one of my Bantam mixes, she is sitting on six eggs (3 eggs from my BA's, 2 Bantam eggs, and an egg from my White Crested Polish).

This hen is one tough cookie, she was trying to eat us alive when we moved her. But we got her settled in, she took a nice poop and got right back on her nest. I feel better now that no one will be messing with her and she can just relax.

Here's a picture of Miss Priscilla on her nest (She did scoot that one egg on the left under her about a minute after the picture was taken):
