Well our hens were losing feathers due to the number of roosters that we had so we separated them. The ladies went in the coop.
We got eggs really well for the first week or so. After a little while Reba started to get a little broody and we stopped getting eggs she stopped laying as many and wouldn't let us anywhere near them. It didn't matter if she or Marie laid the eggs Reba sat on them.
I was beginning to wonder if there was anyway they could even be fertile since they hadn't been with the gents in so long, but we marked the eggs anyway just to see what would happen. Then yesterday when we came home all the waiting paid off! :) She hatched an egg!
Meet our new chick!
