Don't know where you live, but here in zone 7 at 8 weeks old if it turns off too cold at this time of the year, which it usually does, that could kill them.
You could give her fertile eggs and just let her set. They are the best incubators and mothers ( most setting breeds are). I think there is nothing quite as beautiful as baby chicks running around with their mama hen.
I would like to know what the trail cam showed. We had a bantam sitting on quail eggs, each day one or two eggs were gone, come to find out, quite by accident of course, another bantam was eating them shell and all.
In the past I've had dogs do this, it is so frustrating just trying to figure out what is doing the damage. But hawks and dogs have been our only problems during the day.
Probably sounds silly but we use a radio. We change the station once a week. (.Don't know if that matters.) We only turn it on at night and this has worked for us for over a year now. We had problems with almost every critter known.
A dog can be a great help in guarding your chickens.....but starting with a puppy has been easier for me to train. The training was something I had to work at each and every day, but it has really paid off. My bred of dog was a blue heeler, she is now just a little over a year old and will even...
Just a thought, but you could do an egg autopsy ( put one of the eggs in a plastic baggie and crack it open) .Seeing the results from this one egg may help you.
I'm so very glad it finally hatched out for you. But I have a question. I should probably look somewhere else....But when a chick needs help hatching what happens when it is grown???? Does it lay eggs like it should? Is it as fertile ? Does it grow off well? Does it inherit any bad genes??
Thank you so much for the info. It is my understanding (what I have read online ) that so many of the english orpingtons have been breed for show not egg laying.
