5 chicks hatched out of 14 eggs. I'm glad because I don't have too many to worry about, and I'm also glad because my Silkie hen (Who had been broody 2 or 3 weeks ago, and still occasionally made "mommy" sounds) decided to adopt them! Yay!

Now my Mojo is happy, happy mommy, and I have a lighter work load!

Gathering eggs for my next hatch! I've got 9 BBS bantam cochins, 13 shipped bantam BRs, 12 of my own eggs to check for fertility, and 6 bantam polish coming tomorrow!

Thanks for reminding me!
I am setting my D'uccle eggs as I collect them. They are cockerel/pullet eggs, so not expecting any to develop, but I'm hoping!

I know many people who have had success with pullet eggs . Good luck!

Thanks! The only thing is my cockerel. Hoping he is fertile.

Updating since I haven't stopped in for a while
My broody is still sitting and her eggs are due to hatch on the 21st. I'm not sure how successful she'll be though. She's reused to get up to poo, so she's doing it while she's sitting and moving away after. I pitched one egg bc she took a massive dump on it :/ I've tried kicking her off, but when I remove her she just wiggles back onto nothing and doesn't do anything. So she's got 3 eggs left. I've found one left out too cool (probably more than one) but, I just push them back under her. This is her first time and she's proven to be a bit of a hassle. I'll be happy if she hatches just one chick, then I wont have to deal with her anymore
