"The
eggs got here safe, all's good. The hen sat right on them when I removed
her from the nesting box." -Rose, Yadkinville, NC
This red hen
hatched this Dominique chick. A broody hen is better than an incubator.
Hens are great mothers. From Ashley in North Carolina.

Here is

chicks with her that she hatched. She decided to sit on the eggs of other

"I
have 3 Rhode Island White/White Rock hens that just went broody and 1 that

to my hatch and will send pictures when chicks arrive." -Anna, Perry,

I highly
recommend that you watch the PBS Nature show: "My Life as A Turkey".
A true story. A man in Florida raised wild turkeys from eggs and then lived
with them. It is about the love of birds.
It shows how aware and intelligent turkeys are. He learned their communication
sounds and became one of them. It is also a book "Illumination in the
Flatwoods: A Season with the Wild Turkey" by Joe Hutto.
Great for all bird lovers.
