Hi

 

Just got home after leaving about 9.30am and I noticed that my broody hen has moved two eggs under her and left the other 7. I've put her back and she seems to be fine.

 

Will the other 7 eggs be ok? They were cool to touch

Probably. They may take a little longer to hatch though. Fingers crossed.

Thank you - 3 eggs are hatching as I type!

 

So terribly excited and pleased for my hen

[Kit]

So very pleased - 6 have hatched and one in process of hatching

 

5 Barnevelders have hatched and 1 pipping away which means Michelle from Garden poultry who has taken over from Lisa in Frodsham has a 100% success rate

 

1 Vorwerk

 

and the 2 welsummers seems to have stopped developing. They were candled 10mins ago and I can see a dark mass 2/3rds of egg but no movement at all. Will leave them for a few days to see what happens.

 

Thank you everybody for holding my hand throughout the 21 days.

 

Another note I started off with 4 hens 3 weeks ago, I now have 4 hens, nearly 7 chicks and about to take to unwanted 2 year old hens from my friend totalling 13 hens. 13 is bad luck so should I get another vorwerk day old chick to join the other one

don't tell the husband!

That's like 0-60 in 7 seconds.

 

There's always room for another chick.

 

Glad the hatch is working out - I'm a bit pleased and have 18 Pekins hatch today out of 19 possibles (5 candled clear early on).
