A Broody Hen Season: Part 4 Hatching

Through this chicken breeding season we're following Cinnamon one of our Orpington broody hens all the way from beginning to brood through incubating, hatching and raising the chicks until they become independent. This week Cinnamon is hatching and we face some key decisions. Hatching is full of great wins but this year it also comes with some lows that we need to overcome. We are collaborating with the brilliant podcasters Coffee With the Chicken Ladies on this series and each week we'll be discussing in their podcast Cinnamon's progress and how we care for her and her chicks through all the ups and downs. HOW TO USE THE SERIES Listen to the accompanying Episode 30 of the Coffee With the Chicken Ladies Podcast which discusses each topic in detail and then head back over here to see the visuals.
