craftyhunnypie Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Is there any behaviour a broody does in particular, when the eggs are very close to hatching? Can you tell I can't wait?! Come on Marlene - hurry up! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 We are not certain of what day they are due - we can't remember when she originally started sitting on the eggs. So they are due from tomorrow to Thursday this week. So if nothing by next Sunday then - we will assume nothing is going to hatch. She has been a good reliable broody though.

tidygirlsuk Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I don't know but as i have a broody on eggs and it's my first hatch, i'm intrested in all the hatching topics. Good luck with your hatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freckles Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 We had a broody bantam hatch one chick last month and there was no sign that they were imminent but it took ages to hatch (25 days!) I was about to turf her off the eggs and give up when the little head appeared from under her wing She was sitting on 3 but only one hatched. Give them plenty time before you lose hope.
