Top Tips For The Pregnant Hen!
Be Careful!
Remember, there are certain things you shouldn’t do, so don’t get too carried away in the fun. Check with your doctor if you’re unsure about any of the above activities!
Be Comfortable!
Rest when you get the chance and don’t overdo it – you know your body and your limits.
