I posted a few weeks ago wondering where I could get hatching eggs- well I got just what I wanted but by the time they came nusiance hen stopped being broody
asked around thinking I moght locate a rboody or an incubator but nothing (and seemed daft to shell out for an incubatore to avoid wasting the few pounds I'd spent on the eggs)...so I thought, nothing ventured, I'll just stick them in the broody box that's in the run anyway and see what happens...lo and behold! new hen is sitting on them...one that easily goes broody and raised a few chicks last year.
So, very excited now! Eggs were resting for about 5 days while I dithered, but they should be Ok shouldn't they?
She's been sitting for a week now!
so, wish me luck!
