hatching eggs Broody chickens going to hatching eggs help needed
gardengirl+ replied to gardengirl+'s topic in Chicken Clinic
Well so far none of the eggs hatched, Me really upset light crack on one from me by mistake day 13 then I managed to put tape and candle wax on it to seal it then back under the girls about a week just under it had got more cracked by girls as they seemed to like to eat the wax - smelt bad so had to remove the egg thought I would look in the egg and a cute little chick was forming so upsetting my fault for that egg so am down to the two eggs, tried to candle eggs not so easy in day managed to do later bit darker candled eggs and can see chicks in there but now day 35 so late not sure they are going to hatch at all so upsetting stress full, I have got the chick food not sure whether to get some more chicken eggs try again? any thoughts with the girls so want the eggs to hatch I know the girls got up once or twice a day for food and drink, poop and a dust bathe - would it be something they done or me to why they haven't hatched -
will be interesting to see them when bigger to their colour - I guess the maran is more dominant black colour nice how they have different ways

Thank you want to be prepared for the eggs to hatch - that is good I guess that means that mummy teaches the chicks to eat -
Do you have a picture of your set up? trying to sort mine out more

I did not think about eggs not hatching, Did you give the eggs to the chickens straight after getting them? and did they hatch out after 21 days I am going to pick up some eggs -
looks like a girl to me so beautiful - what breed is it love the colours

Will the other bantams not be able to be in the house with them I have 4 bantams all together in one house with run then free to run around plot when we are there Do not all eggs hatch out then I thought they would, any males will go to another house rehome them if I can -

Beautiful chicks thankfully it worked out well - I have a cream legbar chicken so similar to yours in colour lays light green eggs, I have bantam chickens that are broody 2 of them and I am going to get eggs for them, thinking 2 eggs hope that would work out they hatch to be girls, unless it is best to get more eggs any thoughts how many to get? first time to try and hatch eggs where abouts are you? to get chicks near by
