Two Brooding Hens
Our take
Welcome to the whimsical world of brooding hens, where drama unfolds alongside adorable fluff! In this feathered saga, we have two dedicated hens sharing the spotlight for the first time, with one proud mama already welcoming a chick to the mix. However, not all eggs are created equal—one little egg seems to be taking its sweet time hatching, leading to some fowl squabbles as the hens tussle over the adorable newcomer. The burning question is whether replacing the unhatched egg with a different chick overnight could restore harmony, or if our feisty hens will continue their antics, clucking and squabbling over their precious little one. Let’s dive into this clucky conundrum and explore the best way to keep the peace in this quirky coop!
First time we have put fertilized eggs in with the hens. So far one has hatched and the other hens egg seems to not be hatching. Recently, the hens have taken to fighting over the chick. Would replacing the unhatched egg with a different chick overnight solve this behavioral issue? Or will the continue to fight over both chick's?
