hilda-and-evadne Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I promise not to open the incubator! But I am willing the little chick to keep at it. Hope that more than one will hatch but I know that things can go wrong even now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Come on little chicky! I've got some Leghorn eggs under a broody due on Saturday. She's a foul tempered madame, has killed a couple of eggs already (including the only Fresian Fowl egg she had yesterday) so I daren't disturb her. I'll be standing with my ear to her coop hoping to hear some noise from the chicks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilda-and-evadne Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 Come on little chicky! S/he must have heard you - s/he is fully hatched, moving head around and looking very alert. It's pushed the two halves of its shell aside and is trying to get upright (it's on its back) with a lot of cheeping. Pushed one of the other eggs aside. Not opening the incubator but hoping it can get on its feet, soon. Edited to add: and s/he's the right way up. I had to walk out of the room , I couldn't bear to watch.
