Today I found 3 new borns under my broody, to my horror my Broody hen is infested with little black bugs/mites/lice....(not sure what exactly they are)
I immediately brought the 3 chicks inside, they have the little black bugs too.
I put them on top of a piece of paper towel and started killing...
Today is day 21 in the incubator, I can hear faint "chirping" from inside the egg.
Is this normal ?
I don't see any pipping ....
Anyone knows anything about what this might be?
Today should be my Silkie's 14th day sitting on her eggs. She haven't left her eggs until today, went and run around the yard for about ten min and back to her eggs. What I am concerned about is the amount of eggs she has in her nest.
She has 24 !!! Is that normal and I am not sure if I should...
