How to Successfully Hatch Eggs with a Broody Hen
A broody hen can be a determined (and wonderful!) way to grow your flock naturally. With fertile, fresh eggs and a safe, cozy nesting space, your hen will have the best chance of success. From proper egg handling and pest-free bedding to providing food, water, and minimal disturbance, a little preparation goes a long way. With just some light monitoring—like occasional candling—most hens will instinctively take it from there and hatch their chicks with ease.
