Have been loosing broody hens left and right for the last two months. They would go off and we could not find them at all..but I know they have been killed by predators. Finally found one with her eggs. Caught her put her in a big Kennel with her eggs. The first egg just hatched! We now have a very cute chick!  Am so happy! |

We ended up with two baby chicks and they are doing great. Lets just say this hen can't count and let the other eggs get cold after 1 chick hatched. Chris saved the other one once we figured out what was going on. First time we have ever had this happen.  |

I'm glad the first little one has a friend! ;D Some hens just don't seem to be the best mothers.  I had one who hatched out a whole clutch but after they were all dried off, she went outside and ignored them. I ended up brooding them out since she just abandoned them.  |
