Fertile easter eggers from My Pet Chicken |
Unfortunately, the containment system is on back order but I received the fertile eggs. What to do?
Improvise. Necessity is the mother of inventions. I needed to get the broody hen out of the nest the other hens use for egg-laying duties and into her own area. I used what I had on hand, an old wire dog crate, poultry wire under the bottom, newspapers over that and a basket turned on its side and then some pine bedding and a tarp to keep the hot Bama sun off them mid-day. Ta-Da!

H'mmm, I don't remember leaving these eggs here. |
Maybe. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
