The only other person in my family that has chickens is my grandmother.........unlike allot of people now, she just loves it when her hens turn broody
. Well I was incubating some eggs in my LG and showed them to her. I asked her if she knew what it was..... she goes, Oh yeah I've seen those you just put eggs in there and they hatch in a few hours
I told her no, and that it took the normal 21 days to hatch, then she looked at me like Who would by some silly contraption when you could just use a broody hen???(it was more like "Your crazy") But the funny part was when I asked her if she wanted a few chicks when they hatched, she told me straight up NO!
. She says that chicks hatched from incubators never get broody, because a long time ago my dad brought her bator chicks that layed allot but they never went broody
I though about this then realized that they never went broody because they weren't a broody breed. It makes sense because breeds that don't go broody, their eggs are hatched in an incubator, then when they hatch, they grow up not being broody because it's in their genes. It's a funny coincidence really......I explained this to her, but "she knows everything" so I am wrong
. I'm not trying to hate on old people because I love my grandma...........but they are just so stubborn sometimes.
