    EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

    That seems very frustrating. Until today I have only lost 2 of my 12, but alas, my 3rd didn't make it past zipping. She had what looked like 1/2 yolk left, but head tucked under her wing, some blood under the inner membrane, but no movement for a solid 18 hours. (I only found the blood and yolk...

    Update on my babies

    Of our 12 (I was incorrect in a previous thread where I said there were 10) eggs in our first ever batch, we have 4 healthy and happy chicks, 2 that had leg deformities, and were given to a friend with a snake, (yeah, some of y'all will be mad, but I'd rather the circle of life take them, than...

    A new egg in the bunch.

    Sorry for the late response. We've set up a new batch of babies. The others have 4 left in the bunch. We lost on tonight, 1 is pipped and is doing well, as I see the hole enlarging, and the other 3 show no signs, but they were candled and movement was visible. That baby egg is in the new batch...

    A new egg in the bunch.

    Sorry, She's a different breed, different batch from the other hens. She's never laid an egg before. Neither of the other two girls laid eggs this small, so it threw me off. Their first attempts were just wrinkly.

    A new egg in the bunch.

    She's the youngest, maybe 9 months. It's a completely different color than the other 2, and she was in the roost when I got out there.

    I think this is from the 3rd hen who hasn't been laying. Why is it so small??

    2 hens, 2 nests, 1 brood?

    That's frigging amazing! How did I not think of that!!!

    2 hens, 2 nests, 1 brood?

    We're away from home every weekend. They always have sufficient food and water, but no one to pick up the eggs. The last weekend we weren't home Thursday - Monday. Came home Tuesday to 3 eggs in the 2nd nest and the other 7 she was sitting on. Prior to this, the two hens would seem to switch off...

    So the eggs that are not being brooded, they could be ok?

    First hatch and I've got a few questions.

    I didn't know that. She went about a week without us collecting because we didn't know you could collect and put them all in together. I thought they'd die.

    Set? We took them all on the same day and put them in the bator together, but they'd all been under her since they'd been hatched.

    I didn't realized you could put off hatching like that. This is amazing! Thank you!
