Uh oh. I have TWO hens now.

Eggs are due to hatch in less than a week. ‼️

I am considering moving the broodies to opposite corners of the current nest box in the and dividing up the to see if they’ll both sit.

I’ll start by giving the newest broody two from the current clutch to see if she’ll sit them, though.

Though when the chicks get big enough to jump around, that’ll be another issue.

Oh the perils and joys of tending.

So the bloody decided to get off her eggs about three days before they were due to . I’ve popped them into the incubator with the dozen eggs that are due on 4th May but I’m not holding out much hope as they were stone cold when I found them 😢
Sad because this hen is normally a fab mother - I wonder if it was the bad weather that spooked her 😖
