Quambie.... I done it several times.... when the eggs come out in the Incubator.... & I have a clucky hen.... I put a couple of chicken under her in the dark...,& next day if all is good give her another 1/2 dozen ... & so on... a few years back in Summer I had a hen with 35 chickens... it was unreal watching her managing them as they grew... it a bunch of eggs in the incubator today... & if I have a hen clucky in a few weeks she'll end up with them...

Not hatching anymore chicks for a while. Dad has been diagnosed with stomach cancer. I will be flying to see him on a regular basis. I just don't have the time to look after any chicks at the moment. I will just have to enjoy the chicks you guys hatch and post on here.

Same/Same re your Dad Chooky.... Talking about Chooks People.... Someone south of here wants 6 pullets.... I say ya' OK... ...she can't pick them up for THREE WEEKS!.... wtf.... then she SMS again now she wants 10!!!... but not for three weeks!!.... SO WHAT TO DO??.... & another blokes wants 12 week old pullets... the ones I was selling where 6 weeks old!!... wtf.... it's all getting silly.... in the mean time have the incubator full, due out in ten days... Hens still not laying, but over the moult... maybe because it's so cold... hens all look fat & healthy again... Attachments:
