You could put eggs under both. They will just be eaten otherwise.

Okay. Go for it.

How many? I think I could only fit 5 under my bantam hen

Martha handled five just fine, could maybe handle 6.

What were you saying about being broody?

 

[1muttsfan]

you definitely should find some eggs for her!

Not ducks! A friend of mine has a couple ducklings in his bathroom sink...

Cute as they are they are very stinky - had some in my garage for a few weeks for a friend and never again (she got rid of them soon after she took them home too)

Love that noise.

Yes, you need to get her some eggs...

 

[fuzzi]

Not as stinky...

It IS contagious!

Stopped at Aldi's on the way home from work today, and snagged the last one!

It's a children's rake, and perfect for cleaning out the brooder. I raked out the straw in the back corner and found an egg!

Martha's not as protective of the chicks (3 weeks old) and I saw them get pecked in passing by some of the hens. Nothing serious, just learning their position in the pecking order!
