Naturally hatching chicks

Naturally hatching chicks:
Broodiness:-
It is the quality of a bird to sit and heat its eggs to hatch chicks from it. In this period the whole  behavior of the bird changes. It becomes aggressive, protective and it eats, drinks and also poops very less than usual. Mostly this kind of behavior appears in a year.
For hens:
Egg collection:-
Firstly, You have to regularly collect eggs from your cope. As, If they are not collected on time their fertility loses. The eggs should not be kept more than 2 weeks to ensure its fertility. Eggs that have to be  hatched must not be shaken a lot.
 Hen sitting on egg:-
There should be a bedding of some kind of dust like most preferably wood saw. There should be 12-18 eggs under the hen so It could take proper care of them. Hen should be removed daily by force to offer water and feed and to clean Its stomach.
Hatching:-
The chicks will hatch from 20-23 days of brooding but mostly on 21st day for hens. In this process hen could get lice so she should be given anti-lice powder in his feather and after brooding this process could be repated. For more natural way, a dust bath in  the remaining of fire.



Note:-This process is very intrusting but takes a lot of care.
