I purchased 12 BCM eggs for my Brodie hens I have 5 unhatched eggs. Hatch day was Sunday, how long do I continue to let them sit??
2 eggs went missing
1 hatched and died
I accidentally squished one egg due to a weak spot in the egg and a mama the pecked at me( a week before hatch day)

This little guy had yesterday he's doing great running all over his brooderbox but his feet are all curled in. I read that you could straighten them with shoes but he's so tiny how do I get the shoes on him without damaging him??
My hen was sitting on 5 eggs this morning. one hatched and looked very active but a couple hours later it was in the grit box dead with it's leg broken in half! There is another egg currently hatching but one of the adults keep pushing it out of the nest into the grit box. I don't want it to die...
My mama quail has been sitting on 5 eggs,this morning I saw one hatched! She is very protective of the chick and eggs and appears to be taking care of the chick so with that in mind do I need to do anything special for the chick? Ground food? new water dish? Heat lamp?
Hi all. I just joined up and am looking forward to posting about my birds and reading these boards. I have 13 young chickens(hopefully all hens) and 2 button quail (they are currently sitting in 5 eggs!)
