Space Chick Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Happy news for you Josh, although I have heard that hatching at this time of year with it getting darker and colder is much more difficult, so be prepared for it not to work.

Lewis Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Good luck Josh Have you got a shed or garage that they could all go into with the broody? or just somewhere a bit sheltered to keep them a bit warmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
