Thanks Barbara, was lovely to read you story. Sorry about the one chick tho. thanks for everyojes lovely comments. Chick thats out is doing ok I think! The other is nearly out...tho I'm worried it seems a bit weak. But probally tied from all that hatching!

We have one chick out with a little help. And a second on its way!

I got them off my grandad. He was trading 70 welsummer bantam eggs so offered me some...we ended up with 9 (not sure where he picked them up from?!). Hes been around helping me out with them, out first chickens were two pekins (cochin) I have taken in who needed rehoming, and we've only had them...

Well I'm down to two! The other two had died in the shell. They seem ok at the minute....fingers crossed!

So I still only have one piped...one egg felt a little cool so made sure it was under her well. the pipped egg the chick is still alive, I can hear it. But has made no progress in 12 hours....I'm sure ive read this but as I said in my last post after loosing one Im a bit wary now.

So I have 4 eggs left under my broody from 9. 3 were unfertilised, one tried to hatch yesterday but never made it and unfortunately an egg we thought the chick had died in, broke open and it was ok, but too early...so remaining 4 eggs have 2 more days left....fingers crossed!!! I would have...

I think our first chick trying to hatch hasn't made it looked good about 3 hours ago but looks pretty listless now, is it resting or probally gone? :0( what causes could be possible? Its day 21 tomorrow so hoping the rest will break for freedom soon..

thank you! Been to check her this morning just (im in UK) and found my first pip! Could hear the chick peeping out of it to! Eek! So excited! X

So tuesday is day 21 for my broodys eggs....what signs should I be looking out for? I check her regular as I found her with an egg bit pushed out behind her....not out the nest just not under her well and not as warm as the others. So im just keeping check shes got them tucked under well.

thanks both for your replies! Shes been broody for a while but let to sit for the last 5 days, ive re checked my calculator and the eggs are to hatch monday/tuesday time, was thinking of slipping them under her sunday so she can hatch them. This is her first time hatching. I've had to take her...
