Hot take: Letting hens go broody takes too long, but incubators feel like cheating.

Is it better to wait for natural hatching or speed things up with an incubator?

Totally get that, I'm too impatient to wait for broody hens.

Seriously, broody hens are worth the wait though. The hatch rates are way higher in my experience. Let nature do its thing.

Bruh i used to be just like @martinez.anthony, hated the wait. But seeing a hen raise her own chicks changed my whole view, it's way cooler.
