Well as I thought all chicks were dead, 2 must of died early on, the other 4 had feathers and were quite large but were all dead and smelly

no i didnt candle them, wanted to leave her alone with them to keep them as warm as possible, prob a bit late now but I was thinking about it just to see if there were any internal pips

still no babies how much longer should i let her sit, now day 22, I was thinking till Monday??

Tomorrow is the due hatch day, so fingers crossed we will have some little chicks soon

same here with the weather, im in the middle of the u.k. its been really warm for the time of year up till the time she started sitting! if it does drop colder when they are due to hatch I think I will put them in the garage with heat lamp, not sure Mrs Chick will be very impressed though!!
