I have 2 chickens exactly like yours in color and size. I wondered if you knew the name of breed of ckickens they are. Thanks.

Hi Fiona (sorry I couldn’t find your name anywhere but don’t think I was looking in the right place !)
Brilliant, thank you. Yes I’ve seen the site but I was wondering if there was any aga specific advice thats all…….it all sounds a bit scary and I am just worried about getting it wrong. Hopefully the broody method will work.
This is such a great website, really wish I’d found it sooner.

Hi Sally,

I haven’t hatched eggs on an Aga, but found this useful site when Janet emailed me with the problem of a dead hen and a clutch of eggs with only five days to go. The vital thing is to get the gestation temperature right

I’m called Fiona, by the way!

Hi Amanda
If you get a second I would really appreciate any details on hatching eggs on top of your aga. We are trying the broody hen method but if that fails I’d love to use our aga !
Thanks
Sally

Thanks for dropping by. Sara, Your site is packed with great tips for incubating and raising fowl. A must for anyone going down the no hen incubation route.

I found the story inspiring too, Joanna. It would be great to be able to try this with your children in the summer holidays.

Yes, KJ, Henrietta is just gorgeous.
