    I'm probably crazy but I'm going to try hatching a egg with my body heat. Hatch-Along

    Following for updates, never heard of anything like this - surely human body heat will be too cold for this to work - not to mention shaking the egg about walking and such, i guess its a different movement type than turning and can be more stressful?

    Are the chicks comfortable?

    I use a plate, find its best to have it low enough so they can touch the top, but have one end higher so they can move about and find the right temp for themselves, especially as they grow and some might be a tad bigger than others.

    Need advice on if i should help last egg hatching or not

    How long since they first pipped?

    Help

    Are they free range? do they have access to bugs and such? I don't know much about treating issues yet, but it could be that they might not be getting enough protein?

    Chicken Mum Abi's Flock Journey

    We now have wing feathers starting to come through! Babies are getting very inquisitive, they keep jumping up on their Ecoglow bed and jumping off! The little fully black one seems to have a lump on their shoulder, i think it might be from playing too rough. Will keep an eye on it, eating...
