Well all 12 of my broodies eggs have hatched. The 12 chicks are all healthy and doing well.

Today is day 19 for my broody game hen. she is sitting on bantam eggs (duccles, ee's, and games) and 2 nn crosses. when I was feeding everyone this morning I thought I heard her clucking, so I went over and took a look. Sure enough, She's got chicks under her, 2 days early.

I need to get moving! Also, are we going to have a June HAL? @Sally Sunshine

I wouldn't be worried about it if it's less than a day old. Turkeys take a bit longer than chicks to get up on their feet and start moving around. Also poults tend to sleep most of the time for the first couple of days.

Congrats!!

Sorry to hear you only got 2 chicks. I hope you have better luck next time. where did you get the croads from? Did they come from MPC?

I hope all goes well for you! Broodies are the best! I'm glad to hear they are all doing well. It seems like the ones you want to be pullets the most are always the ones that turn out to be roosters. Don't worry about the mock sparring though, as both cockerels and pullets will spar as...

Congrats! I love rare varieties of orpingtons. Ohhhh, is that a baby fawn? More pictures please! Congrats! sorry to hear you lost a couple, I'm glad to hear all the others are doing well. Congrats!

Congrats!

wow those eggs are probably cooked enough to eat. I'm sorry to hear you lost all the eggs, I hope you have better luck next time.

Congrats on the hatch! What breed is she incubating?

If my luck is any indication on how resilient chicken eggs are...I'm thinking you should be fine. My broodies got mixed up when we were away and one of the nest had no broody sitting on it when we got home about 1:30am. I estimate the nest was like that for about 10 hours because they were...

Be sure to post pictures when they hatch!

Is this the loner chick? And is that a blue Naked neck? They are all adorable!

One of the Naked Neck eggs under my turkey hen is pipping!

My Cochin bantam has hatched. I only got 3/8. 3 of the eggs were infertile, one of the eggs pipped, but didn't survive, and the last egg was dead in shell.

I'm guessing it's just going through an awkward stage. Some of my Scovy ducklings have looked really bad for a while before they have feathered out.
