mad house Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Just went to feed chooks and the little banty who is sitting on eggs got up and attacked the eggs that were hatching 3 out of 5 are breaking through the shell. Is this normal behaviour or is it because we were around and she was protecting them Have told everyone to KEEP AWAY FROM THE BROODY. Any advise would be very appreciated, this is our and her first time and we are all learning by our mistakes. Nothing so far from the ones in the incy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Could be that she was disturbed a a crucial point. A good idea to leave her well alone now I would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
