Can you all pray for Button to have some Millefleur chicks please? It has been day 19 since Midday today. There is a lot of fidgeting from her & she keeps throwing bedding over her back. She's not pushed any of the 3 eggs out of the nest, so I presume they must be 'good ones'. Come on Button - I'm dying to see your foster chickies! :pray:

I'll keep my fingers crossed for Button if you will for Nelly, her 3 LF silver laced Wyandotte eggs are on day 19 too. I heard her talking to them last night and again this morning. She got off for a comfort break this morning but I didn't get a chance to look at the eggs because I was busy fixing her run.

Hi all. Sad news. I had come in from work & seen Button was off the nest eating. So looked in to find little chick hatched but with shell attatched and dead. I have sobbed my heart out. We had called it Magic. I know hatching has it's difficulties but I always cry when one dies - no matter what age. I'm praying for the others! I couldn't see any pipping - but couldn't look too close.

Please pray for Button!

R.I.P little Magic - such a short time in the big wide world..nature is cruel.

:( RIP Magic ...

This is what I dread about using a broody - Nugget has tried if for a few days with pot eggs and been good, then when she realises the others are FR'ing, she'll toddle off with them! :roll:

 

My uncle has had a broody for over a week + she's coming on holiday, so hope she's a good mom :)

I won't know until morning if the final one has hatched. All shut up for the night. Button was very busy underneath herself & clucky a bit ago. She now has her head tucked in in contentment - bless!

I'm so proud of Button & Beanie! I hope the final one hatches & we can call it Bobbin. :pray:

Well done Button!

Well the final one did hatch about mid night last night. We sat up in bed like a pair of saddo's watching the chick camera. :lol: Button started clucking loudly & shuffling. Then we saw her remove egg shell from under her.

When hubby checked this morning - there was Beanie & the new arrival....Bobbin!

So well done Button on you 2 beautiful Millefleur chicks!

Anyone know what male & female millefleurs look like upon hatching? Think I may have one of each, as different to each other. :dance:
