I had 11 shipped eggs that were due July 8th
One was missing from the nest after about 10 days.
On July 6th there was one out of the nest that had been destroyed and had a chick in it.
One hatched July 7th and another on July 8th.
Today (July 9) my broody went outside with the 2 babies and left her nest. I know that she was on it around noon and at 4 she was outside.
The eggs were cool
I don't see any shaking or moving
I don't hear any peeping
They are dark with an air pocket (I candled them today)
I don't have an incubator so I have put the 7 remaining eggs in a box with pine shavings and a heating pad over them. The temp is around 100.
What should I do??????
How do I lay them in the box?
How long should I wait?
Is this normal?
