Mini Horses
Herd Master
Golf balls. I put those in the nests to encourage use of more than one nest -- you know, one is best, grass is greener, all that. Soon I had a couple setting. Gave eggs to one and she hatched them, now have three more trying to hatch golf balls. One BO, one RIR & one Marans I tell ya, get some balls...….
Another hen set a golf ball and 8 eggs contributed by other helper hens...6 of the eggs hatched. Alas, the golf ball is still there I'm thinking I will give this old BO gal about 10 eggs. I lost 8 hens to a neighbors dog (he pd me for hens) and now 8 either with chicks or setting...I'm down 15 eggs a day for sales. But, looking for new layers this Fall. Plus, fryers. Hope you get a broody.
