3 of the broody eggs have hatched and are under momma now! One is internally pipped, so hopefully she will accept it tomorrow with the rest if/when it hatches! The other eggs are a bit behind…what to do…what to do…

Thanks, that’s helpful!

That’s true…it’s a chicken, but food next to her still works!

Anyone know how long a broody will stay on her eggs after the first chick hatches? If I give these staggered hatchlings back, I need to make sure they aren’t spaced apart too much or a chick needing to eat is going to be stuck not eating until momma is ready to move…

The broody eggs from my neighbor are hatching! First pip!

That’s what I thought too. I organized them into 4 groups from what I thought was most developed to least developed. I don’t think I will turn the ones I think are most…will turn the ones that are least developed until I see a pip. I am only using 1 incubator (the rest are cleaned and stored...

Ok guys, I know I said I’m done hatching chickens for the year, but my neighbor just called in a panic. Her hen has been sitting for about 3 weeks, she was super mean and agressive when she tried to remove her a few times so she just let her sit. She finally caught her off the nest and said the...

Hi everyone! I ended up with 49 in this hatch. 19 went to a lovely person who wanted Easter Eggers (saved her chicks from blue & green eggs…roos at the farm are also EE), and 29 are going to their new farm tomorrow. One had splay leg that I was able to correct. I had my first failure to...

Oh no! How the? I am so sorry. That’s scary too!

Up to 39 hatched! 9 left, 3 of those are pipped. Fertility has dropped a bit going from 4 roosters to 2, but humans can walk peacefully through the acreage now so I’ll just have to keep setting double the eggs that I hope to hatch. 😂 The fact that 2 roosters are fertilizing about 70% of the 40...

Woke up to 10 babies today! The next few days should be exciting!

First egg is zipping! 😊

Just put 33 eggs into lockdown. Only had 3 late quitters in the new (old) incubator. Glad I got a chance to test it out!

What day are you setting your quail eggs? I just bought some from Meyer today for my aunt…will be setting toward the end of June when they get here. 😊 She wants me to sell chicks for her next year, but she’s down to only 3 quail left right now and needs to replenish.

3 fried quail eggs on top of each portion of Caesar Salad…mmmmm…. It only takes about 15 seconds to fry a quail egg! I think they might be my next venture…my aunt has quail and shares eggs a few times a year, I find them tastier than chicken eggs!

Just candled my 3 bators, day 15, 13 & 12. I have 56 eggs still going after removing a clear and a few quitters. This batch has been completely hands-off, as it’s the most I’ve set at once and I’ve been super busy so only candled on day 5 to remove clears. Will candle again day 18 for lockdown...

What if you give her double the eggs she gives you? (Assuming she wants the eggs for eating).

Chicken math questions have easy answers. Of course you snag him!

Try your cell phone light. If she gets up at all to eat, wear a dark shirt, and check them inside the shirt! Lol

I always do. But if you have a finicky broody, maybe not!
