Its day 21, by my calculations, so 'hit' my campage in periodically and see if anything is happening!

right, im in the right place now

 

Ive just been watching rue and she is shuffling and getting up and looking at the eggs

 

does this mean that something is happening? or is she just getting comfy?

 

(sorry, put the original post in the wrong thread, I really need to concentrate )

Every other day this week she has gone for a 'constitutional' at about 11.30am - but not today....? Does she know something?

[Raina]

I've been glued to your cam for the past few days lol

 

and i'm pretty sure one of the eggs has pipped

 

Good Luck,

What was that just tucked under her breast feathers...a baby or an egg.... ?

Tell her to stand up so we can have a look

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Is she talking to them PHM? She keeps opening her beak & closing it again....it looked like a pipped egg just now so my children now want to sit & watch her............

 

Come on Rue, I've got to go out!!

 

Never have so many people fitted in one Argos toy box

She is doing the little grunting cluck that she has been doing all the time since being broody... Still can't hear any cheeping yet.

[Raina]

I think 3 eggs have pipped

[Raina]

A CHICK!!!!

 

Did anyone else see it when she stood up?

[Guest]

OMG! Raina you were the first! I missed it and I am her (Prim Hen) Mum!

[teri]

rue please stand up...i'm sure you feel like stretching your legs!!!! just a quick peek will do

[Raina]

hehe

 

my mum saw it too

 

My sis can't get my mum off the PC, she's too busy watching Rue

[teri]

now thats just not right a quick flash of an egg and then settling straight back down again...i think someone is teasing us

[Couperwife]

do you think she knows we are watching her

 

she has just turned round and put he biggest fluffy bum up to the camera

 

she keeps fluffing up the wood stuff she is sitting on and looking underneath at the eggs its quite lovely

The hand was trying to discover chicks! But it didn't! It was too busy fighting off Honeysuckle the marauding Amber Star who knows that I put treats in the broody coop and won't let me go any where near without gatecrashing!

 

And 'dressing' the broody box with tasteful drinking vessels for Rue, as you can see!

[Lewis]

Congrats at the chick. She is just watching them now, but I haven't seen it yet

[Egluntyne]

Haven't spotted the chick yet, but am very impressed with the posh dish!

[Couperwife]

Ive seen a chick

 

it was at the back by the corner

 

well done Rue
