They are sooooo cute.<br />Once had a broody hen she sat for almost three weeks then got off the nest and that was that. Turned out only one of the eggs was fertilised, so a bit of a shame. Msut have another go and setting some eggs this Spring, would love to hear the cheeping of chicks in the garden.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742003349610251189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-37121635656570065452010-05-24T05:39:57.025+01:002010-05-24T05:39:57.025+01:00We used to leave ours to just get on with it.

I'm sitting here looking at an incubator which is temperature and humidity controlled. Does Mrs Hen fuss about all that?<br /><br />Having just run around trying to get hens into a house I'm not sure why I'm even contemplating adding to the flock.mountainearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977393968796316843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-15468205776542563502010-05-23T22:08:36.958+01:002010-05-23T22:08:36.958+01:00Gorgeous little balls of fluff.
