Go for it! 3 days apart isn't bad. Often the slower eggies will catch up, and mom will sit a few days after the first peeper to hatch to give the rest time. I wouldn't put them together more than a few days apart though.
1 Jubilee Orpington hatched safely! WOOT!
Sadly, the other one didn't make it. The dead one pipped low but somehow only broke shell away and didn't penetrate the membrane? The poor thing drowned and it's my fault. I fell asleep and was not there to intervene. :he:barnie:hitThe surviving...
Love and good hatching juju all around! :fl:pop
Okay so, where do y'all post about hatches when there isn't a special Hatch-Along going on? Can we post in here if ours are still hatching this week?
YAY!!! <3
I have 2 Jubilee Orpingtons in lockdown now; they're rollin' but that's it so far! Hatch date isn't until Fri technically. Sounds like @Farmer Connie has some on the way too! WOOT for our late chicks! :love
Total eggs set: 7
Total eggs hatched: 3
Breed: Coronation Sussex
Other info: Eggs were shipped; all had saddled air cells; eggs were set horizontally for lockdown; all pipped appropriately & hatched on their own without incident.

This is why people need to wait until the end of day 26! Please, please everyone spread this message...late chicks aren't impossible and I've seen too many sad stories of people pitching eggs before day 26 only to realize there was a live peeper in there.
Whoa. Sounds like a suspicious breeder IMHO. One batch is one thing, but two? In prime mating season? Anyway, I'm so sorry! Do you like English Jubilee Orps? I may have some extra soon! <3
I PURR TO MINE TOO! <3 I looked up videos of mama hens purring to their peeping eggs and chicks, and mimic the sounds to encourage mine. Also I play the video for the eggs now that they're rocking! :love
