    Help! Broody pecked hole in egg under her

    Wow that’s a lot! 4 of the 19 stopped developing a while back, and I’m kicking myself because I stopped candling them about a week before hatch- there were so many and she got so cross with me! Maybe if I had removed those this wouldn’t be happening. The remaining 7 I put under another broody-...

    Help! Broody pecked hole in egg under her

    I do have her food and water a few feet away- I only started giving her food because she wasn’t leaving the nest (as evidenced by poop) and she had lost so much weight. She must have been leaving the nest to drink or surely she wouldn’t have survived? Also, it seems on closer inspection that...

    Help! Broody pecked hole in egg under her

    An update: The poor little chick in the pecked egg died. Her beak was at the hole, but she hadn’t unzipped, no movement or cheeping and was starting to smell funny... 8 eggs have hatched, one died after unzipping but before pushing out of the egg, and Mum abandoned the others! One was pipped so...

    Help! Broody pecked hole in egg under her

    I had left the food and water across the coop- I only started feeding her because she had got so thin. I can’t put much in reach anyway because of the space. She has got off a couple of times as there has been the massive tell tale poop, but I think for the whole sit, she has pooped 3 times off...

    No, it’s beak is now in the hole and the hole is larger, but it isn’t moving. I have left it under Mum who is still super committed despite 5 now having hatched. I only have pics of four so far as I get pecked to bits every time I go near her!

    Help! Broody pecked hole in egg under her

    I have a very vigilant Wyandotte sitting on 19 eggs (it’s a long story) Two hatched late yesterday and she is still sitting tight on the others, but she had done a big poop in there this morning so I had to lift her off to clean it. She was very angry and pecking at me wildly and got one of her...
