Hey community,
Have a mamma hen who has been sitting strong on a clutch of 17 eggs and we’re at day 20! She’s been amazing, rarely leaving the nest, but doing well. I’ve fed and watered her nest-side every day and made sure she’s stayed healthy. Not sure how she’s been managing the broody poops but I saw the nest a few days ago and it looked great.
Today before chicken bedtime I heard little chirps under her
so pretty sure hatching has begun, though haven’t seen the chicks yet. Will be excited to see in the morning, and hopefully can share some cute chick photos.
Have a concern about tomorrow as the hatch continues and hoping for some input here…
There is some untimely chainsaw work planned on the property tomorrow, and I’m wondering if that noise could disrupt the hatch process and stress the baby chicks or mamma hen too much. I’m sure it’s not ideal, but it’s not up to me, and I’m debating raising concern about it or if I’m worrying too much… what do you think?
Happy thanksgiving
