    Share Share Post
    When we are going to hatch a clutch. We got a box or an old pot we put clay in the bottom of it. Then we put in on top of the clay a little bit on straw or hay. Then we leave thirteen or fourteen eggs in.
    We put a clucking hen on the hen is fed on twice or three times a day with oats and water.
    She is left on them for a month. Then the chickens come out.
