Hi! Thank you for your help! My girl is a bantam cochin I

Think I am going to look into getting some day old chicks in case my 2 eggs don't hatch. I will try to slip them under her wen it gets dark just to be safe. She got up to dust a bit but went right back to sitting and making her little noises.

Saddest day ever!!! Yesterday my broody Peeps only chick died Have no idea why, nothing obvious that I could see. So sad, she will not move unless I pick her up and take her out. yesterday she was looking for her chick and making the cluck noise to call her. I have 2 eggs that are in a bator...

Your welcome..and I am 100% sure I have no idea how this happened!!! But I am thinking that one egg must have been well on its way developing and was mixed in somehow with the rest of the eggs I was given by the supplier Mistakes happen so I am just going with the flow at this point and...

Hi! Yes you are correct. My situation is occurring because I got my eggs from an 3rd party...I have no rooster so no fertile eggs here! The person I received eggs from told me the date they were collected, I placed them under my broody and then started the count from there. Well, from this...

That would be good! When I ordered eggs the plan was for her to hatch them all but then the aircells were loose and I wanted them to have a good chance at hatching so I set them up in my bator(only 2 of 6 have made it). I then got some local eggs and the hatch dates were supposed to be 3 days...

Not so far! I think early baby was placed in with my other eggs by mistake and was not an 8/12 due date. I believe the other 2 eggs are and my amazing first time broody is determined to sit and hatch those eggs while caring for her chick...still isn't budging and since I do think these eggs are...

OK..thanks! That would be today so watching to see what happens

I have another question How long should I give my broody sitting on the 2 remaining eggs before I remove them to the bator and make her get up from the nest with her new chick? I am still giving the other egg a chance to hatch in case this one was the wrong date too(when I candled they looked...

Ok...thanks for your help! I think I will just see when they hatch what the age difference is I have a brooder area set to go so either way it is ok. I was just hoping my broody would be able to raise them all since the were supposed to hatch together Guess these babies have other plans...LOL!!!

Okay..thanks! I have 4 other eggs I received with this batch that I have in a bator now thinking that they weren't developing but wanted to place them in the bator just in case. Guess I will just add the egg that is actually due next week to the bator group! Wow..I really hope the second egg...

Guess what??? I have...or rather broody momma Peep...has a baby!!!!! They weren't due to hatch until next weekend?????? I picked these eggs up and I am thinking that the dates on the eggs were mixed up? Peep has one more egg under her that I think will hatch with this baby because when I candled...

I candled mine under my broody when she got up to take her break. Of course you have to be around at that time, but my girl has been like clockwork getting up 2ish in the afternoon. Maybe because it is a warmer part of the day? Then she is getting in and out on her own Just a thought

Aww.....good broody momma!!! Congrats and good luck with the rest of your hatch!!!!

Seriously...what a lucky girl I have a broody with the same set up, but she has to get up and move a foot to get to her food and water! What we do for our broodies

I love your fluffy little broody!!! What a great set up..totally comfy and set!!!

All happy mommas and babies My broody is taking great care of her eggs due to hatch Aug 11th!
