ted docherty Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Broody Silky! is it too late in the year to give her fertilised eggs? I have 4 Silkies and a Pekin in eglu cube with 3x3 metres walk in run and would like to have more girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Personally I wouldn’t hatch this late - they won’t grow so fast with shorter days (less time for eating) and risk getting chilly in bad weather, but if she’s a good mum and the weather is kind you might be OK.

ted docherty Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 Many thanks for your reply. I am checking the next 2 days to ensure both girls are remaining on the nest and if ok will try with fertilised eggs. I am able to put another smaller coop inside the walk in run so will be able to keep watch. Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
