Some are very "broody" - meaning they are protective and want to sit on even unfertilized eggs. Others have absolutely no interest in brooding. Most people I know with hens and roosters put fertilized eggs in an incubator.Proverbs Thirty One Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061731679235511146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265772262233409826.post-57373756838656925402012-02-11T04:45:07.400-08:002012-02-11T04:45:07.400-08:00Great post!

Where I live, there was a news story about two years ago about a couple who wanted to keep six chickens (I think) and maybe one rooster, but the city refused to allow it. I'm not even sure if the city (which I used to live in) allowed <b>any</b> chickens, but if they did, it was just two. <br /><br />Just another reason to want to live in the country. :) Of course, you probably need to check county regulations in some instances, too. While most probably don't have a problem with it, the county I live in is, while not completely urban, what you'd call "upper class" for the most part (or snobby) and they seem to regulate everything under the sun as well. Even regulating where you can park a boat or RV on your own property! (So, I'm sure they have some sort of regs on farm animals...)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072706769675479529noreply@blogger.com
