I put some marbles in the water bowl and one of the other eggs that was hatching died mid way of hatching and the other eggs didn’t hatch and my momma hen abandoned the eggs and is just caring for her 2 chicks! 🐥
Update: 2 out of 5 of my chicks have hatched and 1 is still hatching it started hatching at about 10:30 am and is still hatching it has progressed and I am just wondering if it is still alive. Here are some photos... They are on chick crumbles and I have halved the chicken coop for them.
My other hen is laying and she has tried to lay in my broodys nest once, yes only two chickens and one coop but for most of the day they are normally out (my broody stays in). I have some photos up with my original post.
Hello, this is my first time owning chickens and I have a hen who is currently sitting on 5 fertile eggs... The eggs are around 2 weeks old and I have candled them and I can definitely see chicks inside! My broody hen is in a coop with 1 other hen who is not broody, when the eggs begin to hatch...
