Still nothing. Bunny not budging either. Hopefully she will give up tomorrow.

Keeping my fingers crossed that Bunny will come through for you.

Well, mine were all quitters at some point. I candled the last two and no movement and no internal pip.

So I bought 6 chicks and tried to sneak them under her and she was having none of that. LOL She just wanted O U T !!! So she's back with the big girls dust bathing and the chicks are in a brooder.

I'll know better next time than to let a broody be broody weeks before getting eggs.

That's clean compared to my broody's nest. LOL Hope you have a very successful hatch.

Well look at it compared to last years one!:

Her eggs are scattered every were! And Thanks . I hope now I have another cockerel they will hatch because I haven't had any look with the last 90 eggs I tried to hatch of my own.
