What kind of nest was she setting in? How large of a hen is she?I could never figure out how she broke them!
That's adorable.What kind of nest was she setting in? How large of a hen is she?
The only time I've had a hen break eggs was when she was huge. I have a hen that is the heaviest in the flock. A big Cuckoo Marans. She weighs more than the rooster at over 8 pounds. She crushed all but one egg during her incubation AND I don't think I had enough soil/bedding in her nest to cushion the eggs for such a large hen. I named the lone hatched chick Miracle.
