Chicken chicks that is :-) One of our chicken didn’t leave her nest today, so we have been collecting eggs to put under her.

Main thing you need to know about collecting eggs are:

 

  • are they from chicken that "are visited" by a rooster each and every day?
  • you turn them 180 degrees every 12 hours so the egg yolk won’t stick to the scale

 

Once you gathered enough eggs, life becomes easy because the mother-hen is the expert!

Main thing to know is that the chicks will appear in 21 days from now, so I better write it down, like here :-)

No time to take a picture as I was hungry :-)

Not good for her backside though…
