Cackle Hatchery Ceramic Nest Eggs - Brown (6 Pack)

Q: Is it better to use Ceramic or a wooden eggs to get your chicken broody?

I don’t know if fake eggs cause chickens to get broody. I doubt if it matters much to the birds. My hens were laying eggs in secret nests and I wanted them to lay in the nesting box. I put the ceramic eggs in as a lure and it seemed to work. The hens did lay eggs along with the fake eggs. After a week or so one hen did become broody and is still sitting after 3 weeks. (I had put what I hoped were fertile eggs under her but they haven’t hatched. Duds, sadly)

Q: What type of chicken is it if I want to hatch them?

Hello, thank you so much for your inquiry. These ceramic nest eggs are not hatchable. Our ceramic nest eggs are crafted right here in the United States and they are so realistic that they are often confused with the real thing.
