Question

explain the process of hatching eggs under broody hen in rural areas

Answer 1

The best way for anyone with a backyard flock to hatch chickens is using a broody hen,and most bantam & heavy breeds,particularly the Australorps,go breedy very easily,usually in late spring or summer.Broodiness seems to be contagious!If a hen goes broody in the hen-house with other hens,the other hens may become broody too,& they may kill the young chicks when they hatch.It is best to leave the broody hen with other hens for only one or two days then,after dark,move both the hen & if possible the nest box to another prepared house.If you don't want the hen to be broody move her as soon as you think she is getting broody to a henhouse with no inviting nesting spots.
