Hi,
At day 22 patient weeks, my broody little Dutch hen has hatched out 5 of her six eggs. She looks exhausted. Well, silly me, I saw some eggs on Eggbid, hoping to continue. How long will a broody stay on her nest? Will I be pushing it to put those eggs (6) under her or should I put them in the bator? I have had 2 cochins and 2 silkies and she is the first hen that I've ever had go broody! Should I give her some boiled egg or something to get her strength back up?
Six weeks on the nest sounds really long... I know by my 6th months of pregnancy I was ready to be done!
And of course, the little itty bitty fluffy butts are adorable!
Thanks,
Cat
