Purplemaniacs Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) I have turned my incy back on I have 12 orpington eggs that will go in tomorrow, I am hatching them for a friend who has lost a lot of her orpington flock to the fox recently so she is trying to increase her stock again. They are eggs from her remaining chooks. When they hatch they will go back to her but my incy is bigger than hers as she has the little Brinsea one as she usually hatches with a broody.

Purplemaniacs Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Thank you but it is a bit selfish too I get to hatch again I hope a good number hatch for her she was so upset when the fox visited. She is also going to hatch some at the nursery she runs so the children can see . Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
