    Can they make it?

    Thanks! It's the pregnancy brain that is getting to me! I will continue to let them sit in the incubator then and not throw them out.

    Can they make it?

    I started incubating 10 eggs on March 26th. The lady I got them from said they had been laid the Wednesday and Thursday before. I counted forward 21 days from when she said they were laid to get a hatch date. I took them out of the turner this past Monday afternoon. They still haven't hatched...

    Texas

    TexasChickMom- I am in Big Sandy just north of Tyler. I usually candle the eggs just for my benefit, but we do not have to candle them for the kids.

    4 rescue hens 1 month no eggs, any advice please.

    We had one that go a really pale comb at one point. We started putting an antibiotic in their water. I think it was called Tetramycin (I'm sure that is not spelled right). We got it from our local farm supply store. That helped our hen get better. Of course the others drank the water as well...

    ~Setting chicken eggs Sept. 7th.~

    I haven't candled and probably won't. Mama gets all upset when you disturb her. Maybe this weekend we will be able to catch her off of the nest one morning and be able to at least see if any of them smell!!

    Any way this is NOT going to be a roo?

    Maybe. Or we got the eggs switched and they are a cross between a BO roo and BA hen. There is a good chance that happened! Either way the brown chicks look like they will be beautiful. They are solid brown.

    Any way this is NOT going to be a roo?

    We are hoping for one roo. We like to have fertilized eggs for when we need to increase our flock. We just can't have more than one with the amount of hens that we have. Plus the chickens are housed on my in-laws land so we do not want to over-crowd our free housing!
