Thank you!!! That's all of the eggs that were under her, they all hatched. 6 days apart in total.
Those other eggs were a total fail, 7 were clear, only one actually developed partway.
Lol, I recently had that um, lovely, experience for the first time myself!!!! WOW, you're right it was terrible! Every morning and right after the first one hatched, she actually didn't move for the next couple poos probably because I put food and water right in front of her for baby too! So I...
Okay, new question or two..... I have a broody with 4 eggs underneath her. They are about 5 days apart in total. She is in a coop with 3 other hens and a roo. Should she be moved? The first one is due to hatch on Thursday. She seems quite content to brood and continues to steal the others eggs...

Awwwww poor little one, thank goodness you took it, good for you! Sorry I don't know what it is, but my little blacks are 10 weeks and very little still, compared to the BR of the same age and younger. If the others were beating on it that bad, they also could have been preventing it from eating...
Lol, I give my broody a piece of whatever is the flavor of the day, don't think she should have to miss out! Today was watermelon!
I have only heard the chicken math thing twice now, what is it??
Okay, thank you!! It's all good as long I can make more EE's, I have girls for him!! I don't have an Amercauna hen, but I have 3 EE pullets and am not too concerned about being a cross as long as he's Americauna. He was a free bird that got thrown in with some others, but still it miffs me that...
