Meganymoo Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Is it too late to hatch a few more chicks now? 'Cus I really want some more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Bear in mind though that the chicks will need maximum daylight to grow so hatching now probably isnt the best idea although not completely out of the question Dont forget if you set eggs now they wont hatch for 3 weeks and will be growing as the weather turns colder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I'm hatching my last lot this year under broodies. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Me too, but they're big sturdy breeds I'm hatching. I made the mistake of hatching Polands under a broody in September once and will not be doing that ever again. The chicks spent the entire winter under heat in my garage!

lillybettybabs Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I have some due to hatch in mid Aug but only because to suppliers hen went broody at the time i ordered them. I do have a nice unused conservertory for them to use if it turns nasty though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
