Here's hoping. I guess if she is still sitting on them you can leave them for a few days?

It is very cute though! Did the other eggs hatch? I'm looking at Ginny's three chicks and I reckon, based purely on personality, that I have 2 lads and 1 gal.

Gorgeous! You've gotta be happy with those cuties?

Yes it was lovely to see. As soon as the weather changed and the southerly dropped the temperature she had them bundled away back in the coup.

Ginny took her babe out in the sunshine today and got them scratching about. It gave me a chance to clean the nest box as she had taken a giant dump in there. The little speckled one is actually quite light coloured so I'm thinking buff or blue laced wyandotte. Our Mocha was much darker as a...

Ginny had her three babes out and about today.

So close!

So, no more good new today. Daughter and I went to check for the other egg and found it under straw out of the nest and cold. I'm not sure what happened. We candled it and didn't spot any movement. We buried it in the garden with this morning's chick. Thus, we know we have a Rhode Island...

We gave her 8 eggs. Three were not fertile and were removed at day 15. She had 3 chicks yesterday afternoon. This morning there was a new blonde chick that I think was a speckled Sussex like Ginny. It was pretty fresh but wasn't under her. I tucked it back under her but when I went to check...

Ginny the dark horse - she was so calm! I tell you, it was mayhem in there by yesterday afternoon! She was still trying to sit on a couple of eggs and teach chicks to eat. Her world changed in a matter of hours. I'm just waiting for the sun to come out enough to see how she got on overnight...

That's a fab photo! I understood blue eggs were quite difficult to candle?

Gosh - how exciting but I'm sorry about the weather! Our weather has gone from very rainy and wet and fairly cool to hot and humid. Apparently we may get thunderstorms tonight. Hubby and I just went out to Ginny and she now has three chicks. We saw another egg had pipped and couldn't see the...

OK can we join the chick party??? I came back from shopping and checked... two chicks that I could see. A RR and maybe a dark orpington or wyandotte chick!!! So happy!!!

I trust the hen!!! I just poked my head in the coup when I came back from shopping and... There is actually two chicks in the photo. One giant rhodey chick and a smaller dark one!! My daughter and I were leaping around hugging each other. Ginny is still sitting tight so I guess she has hope...

Wow! I'm trying not to be jealous!;)

Thank you for the reassurance. Actually, our weather has been pretty atrocious for this time of year. We've had a lot of rain in the past week or so. Today is finally sunny but it is now really humid. Ginny has been a pretty dedicated mum and has only got off the nest very briefly and...

Advice please: OK... we're into day 22 with our Ginny. She is still sitting strong and hasn't come off the next in the last 3 days but there doesn't seem to be any action. What should be my plan going forward?

That's fabulous news! A party of chicks??

We're still waiting here with our Ginny and we're into day 22. My heart is starting to sink. We've had the worst weather here. It's pretty much rained solidly for the last week. I guess we'll see how she goes for the rest of the week and then make some decisions on the weekend.

Gorgeous! And a great hatch result.:thumbsup
