We have our first chicks of the year hatched by natural means. No electrically powered incubator here, just a hen in a nest box. Three chicks hatched from 5 eggs. Sadly, two have died, but the remaining one is alive and well.
We have another hen on eggs which are due to hatch next week.
Can you please tell me the breed of hen? I tried with chantecler but they just kicked the eggs around and did not brood.
ReplyDeleteThe hen is a barnvelder. The chick is exchequer leghorn.
