Setting hen

[shadowdragon]

We have a hen who has decided to go broody and set. We don't have a rooster so the eggs she chose to sit on were never going to hatch. We tried for over a month to discourage her but she persisted. So we went and got some fertilzed eggs from a farm with a rooster and put them under her. We weren't sure she would continue to set for the amount of time required but she is down to nine days left and shows no inclination to leave the nest.

Here she is, happy on her eggs.
