So, I’ve had a ‘clucky’ chook for the past month, determined to hatch a chicken from a plastic egg. Why a plastic egg, you ask? It’s a little trick I use to encourage my new chooks to lay in the boxes instead of all over the place! 😊
No matter how many times I tried to ‘shoo’ her off the nest, she would head right back. So, I thought, why not adopt some fertilised eggs for her to hatch?
I turned to the magical world of social media, asking if anyone local had some fertilised eggs available. To my surprise, I got a response! I honestly didn’t expect that.
She took to the new eggs like the natural mother she is, tucking them under her and fluffing up her feathers with pride. Now, let’s just hope I don’t end up with 12 roosters! 🫣😂
P.S. I have no idea what breed these eggs are, but I’ll keep you all posted! 😁
