Were the ducks and chickens eggs placed under broody to hatch on near same day?
Love fat faced EE chicks!
Keep gently checking and broody should get used to it and calm down.
WooHoo for Broody chicks!
You could probably leave Bouncer in the bator for 24 hours....
.....then put him under the broody with her chicks, might be better than brooding Bouncer all alone?
Sweet!
Hopefully it will be a quick pip/zip/hatch.....but might take longer, can take 12 hours, so don't worry if it's not fast.
Critical not to open bator after pip to maintain humidity...at least with chicks, not sure about ducklings.
Boy.... that's for sure!
Especially the first time.
It can take 48 hours from internal pip to hatch...hard to be patient.
I don't candle after lock down....feel it's best not to disturb the process.
Will wait until 2-3 days after they're 'supposed' to hatch...temp fluctuations can make...
Is this egg(duck?) in an incubator or under a broody?
Too confusing for me to tell from reading the thread.
And other eggs(chicken?) are in bator or under broody?
