Join me as I share about broody hens and how we broody hens on our homestead. If you are wondering how to place chicks or eggs under a broody hen, I am sharing my process in this video.

Did you know that you can use broody hens to raise your chicks? Yep! It is my absolute favorite way to raise baby chicks because you don't need a heat lamp or heat plate and the broody mama hen pretty much takes care of everything.

I like to set up a separate place for my broody hen and her chicks with shelter, food and water. But that's pretty much all they need.


Did you know that you can use broody hens to hatch fertile eggs for you? Even if you don't keep a rooster(we don't have one at the moment), you can buy fertile hatching eggs from a local farm and place them underneath your broody hen for her to incubate and hatch and care for the babies - again, a super easy way to hatch and raise baby chicks on your farm!
