I have eggs scheduled to hatch on Saturday.

Fun! How are they now?

On and a question.... I have an egg with a chick inside and I'm going to ket it hatch under our broody hens but what happens when it's ready to hatch? The broodys have never been mothers and I'm worried they might kill the chicks when it's hatching time. Is there an easy homemade incubator you can make? The egg is a week old.

Just keep an eye on them. Usually broodies do just fine, first time or not. If there is a problem once it hatches, move the chick(s) to a brooder.

Oh cool!!!!!! I love Barred Rocks!!!!!!

I'm excited about them. We've had them many times, but two years ago, a rooster got the last of them, and we haven't gotten any since.
