Title: Broody hen
Post by: waterbuffalofarmer on July 23, 2017, 01:14:02 pm

Hi
One of my warren shas gone broody, she is sitting on a small cluster of eggs, non fertile. Plan is to move her into a seperate house to try and hatch some eggs. 2 Q's, is it too late in the season for hatching? and 2 I need to find some eggs locally, but not entirely sure what breed to go for, provided she sits tight ofc
Cheers

I don't think it's too late, will be well feathered and grown by winter, & should have nice early layers in spring.
