She had pushed one of the 3 that I pushed under her after she moved off of the original nest back into the original nest but wasnt sitting on it. Tthen when i went out to check on her she had gone outside the coop.for a minute. Left her 4 chicks in the coop. I grabbed the one she pushed into the...
@EggSighted4Life Hmm. Maybe there is some hope? She just moved back o into her original nest. Took 2 of the 3 eggs with her. I watched her tuck them under. One I was able to candle first. It had a air sac on the wide end and I saw and felt some movement but haven't seen or heard anything from it...
OK 😆 thanks. I appreciate that. She's moved off again and is showing her brood how to get water and food. They are eating a drinking. One egg she moved back into the original nest 2 other she left where she had moved to. Being that they have no signs of hatching I will assume they are duds. I...
I don't really have any Interest in hatching eggs in an incubator. Or taking care of chick's. I've done it but now that I have broodies I'd rather let them handle it. If they don't hatch naturally I'd rather let nature take its course. Thanks for your suggestion though.i do appreciate you taking...
I put them all under her at the same time. So you are saying they are likely duds? Just want to be clear. I pushed them under her. But if she moves again I'll take them out. Looks like she'll be taking the family out of the broader for a stroll soon. As she moved right by the door.
I'll.add maybe too.many eggs? This is the biggest I've given a broody. She's welsummer. This is her first time. She's only about 7 months old. The first 2 clutches were 5 and 4 eggs. Also to first time moms
Today is day 21. Hatch started on day 19 I saw 2 chick's. Day 20 I saw 4. Today she has moved off her nest with the 4 and left 3 eggs. At day 8 I had candlesd them and they all looked the same development wise. I didn't touch them after. I put the remaining eggs to my ear and hear nothing. They...
Oh yes. I will have to keep you in mind. I already gave her some eggs she's been sitting on almost a week. But I donhave 2 broodies. So when the other one pops off can I DM you? Are they pure CLB?
Yeah I figured that out after I posted :hit
I posted an ISO thread so hopefully I will get some bites. I could go the ebay route but id rather try here first.
