SETTING HENs FOR EARLY CHICKENS.
setting hens for early chickens care should
be taken that the eggs chosen have not
been chilled. Choose a good sized hen and
give her small number of eggs than may
be allowed In warmer weather. If dozen
or more are given her, some of the outside
ones will probably not be well covered, and
get chilled. For the same reason, see that
the hen is well supplied with food and
water within her reach as she sits on her
nest
