mimi5 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I wouldn't worry too much. I've only hatched with broody hens but they have to get off the nest to eat and drink and toilet!! I read somewhere the eggs are ok for a couple of hours, they may just hatch a little later Try not to worry....my broody hens pooped all over their eggs and I thought they'd be goners!!! But I still had a good hatch, 5 out of 6 for one and 3 out of 6 for the other! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surf_space Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 On the new Brinsea models for incubators they have a cooling option where there is a designated time for a cooling period, replicating the natural drop in temperature when the hen would leave the nest to feed and drink. so I wouldn't worry too much! Good luck with your hatch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimi5 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I believe feathering up quickly indicates a girl and slower feathering up a boy Wait and see if this proves true.....keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
