So whenever they do hatch them I get very excited!Yolanda Ronaldohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06325405542360333736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772243343058005494.post-5287546833618456162012-08-09T09:39:17.561-04:002012-08-09T09:39:17.561-04:00We (well, the hen), hatched two chicks this year -...We (well, the hen), hatched two chicks this year -- which I'm so happy about.

When the occasionally go broody we separate them in a small cage for a few days until they cool off. The worst part about the incubator is waiting for the chicks to hatch out and wondering if we should help them. Generally the ones that get stuck and need help end up having some kind of problem anyway, but its very hard to leave them there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874273438983052621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772243343058005494.post-73079364251839517892012-08-08T22:30:13.753-04:002012-08-08T22:30:13.753-04:00Some chickens have had the mother thing bred out o...Some chickens have had the mother thing bred out of them but others seem to have a little. Our game hens were more on the wild side and could raise them out in the bush and got down right serious about it. I used to replace their little eggs with brown ones and they would raise large chicks for me.Sunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.com
