Last weekend I found a broody hen (Sadie) sitting on 27 eggs that she had rolled under a shelf in the feed room. I didn’t have time to deal with it so I made her a makeshift nesting box and just tossed the eggs in there for her to sit on until I had time to decide what to do with her and them since this is not the first time she’s been broody.
I went out this evening with the intention of candling some and letting her hatch out some that were good. To my surprise I found 9 newly hatched chicks!
Anyone interested in some barnyard mix babies?
