Disaster! I went out to check on my brooding hen this afternoon and noticed she has hatched one in her clutch. I put up some new mesh next to her so that the other hens wouldn't peck through the wire at her (she's right next to the wire) and pulled my hand out of the bedding to find 15 or so...
I heard some cheeping last night and still some wiggling today, but still no babies. So sad... What's the longest anyone has had for a hatch on chicken eggs?
I have some beautiful eggs from a breeder in Tennessee, 99.5, Little Giant incu,, and a really cool turner. But then I forgot to take them out of the turner until today. ugh! so mad at myself. (finals week had me distracted)
What happens to the little darlings when they get turned so close to...
