I'm in the same boat, mine are due on Saturday. I'll never get over how something so perfect can come out of something so small and I always think how did that ever fit inside that egg :lol: I'm incubating Poland eggs, they're tiny, how can a chick be in there???????

 

Good luck :D

You should try quail and Diamond Doves, their eggs are TINY :lol:

Quail chicks are like little bumble bees.

 

 

Good luck with your hatch :mrgreen:

Oh Wow. I want a quail chick :lol: .

 

Well the big day is tomorow and I'm starting to get very nervous. Anybody know what I should do if NO chicks hatch? I assume she will continue sitting.

 

Also, the chicks will be okay left with mum in the Eglu won't they?

 

:? Sorry; last minute nerves are kicking in.

They'll hatch underneath her. She'll stay on top of them to provide more humidity for them to hatch.

 

If she's in the eglu on her own with them, other people have taken out the roosting bars and left them in.

 

If none hatch, she will know and leave the nest in a few days, if not you might need to take her off, bit wait a few days and give them a chance.

 

 

Be patient, you might not hear anything.

Good luck! :D

Thanks guys.

I'm really fretting now. NO sign of any cheeping and believe me, Ive spent quite a bit of time with my ear to the eglu today.

How often do you get NO eggs hatching? If I dont hear them cheep, does this mean they wont hatch?

 

I'll be so so so disapointed if she doesn't have any. And she will be gutted I expect.

 

Shes sat on 4 pure breed (cant remember the name :doh: black and white barred) and 2 Brah-Bats! (thats ex-batt mother and Brahma father!).
