Phosphorus Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 so something must have hatched - had a feather downy bit on it as well plus a bit of blood Not been too persistant to look under her - she wasn't that keen so not sure if chick is still alive under her or not Anyway something has happened. Will lift her up later - need to pick up from school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feemcg Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I replied on your other post - which one are we using for news of the possible hatchling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 I replied on your other post - which one are we using for news of the possible hatchling? Don't worry have read both. Believe me if I find more I will be shouting it from the rooftops. There was only a speck of blood really, not a lot and it did look pretty much like half a egg shell so I think it hatched naturally. Going to go and have a peek - know I should leave her but have left her for a good couple of hours now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phosphorus Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Sorry folks had to pick up a friend's little girl from school and ended up round their house for tea. I came back for a quick visit but Gemma isn't letting me see much - I presume that that is good I think there is definately one chick - picked her up slightly and there was a fluffy thing, think it moved Not heariing a lot of cheeping though Tried to look again later but Gemma is fluffing up like a pancake and pecking me - managed to see two eggs still so two are definately still unhatched but she moved those back under her quickly. Tomorrow will tell. Can I shunt her out to eat and drink when she has chicks? Will put chick crumb in eglu house tomorrow, they have a small jar lid with marbles and water in there for tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
