I had a broody who would start pecking the crud out of them as soon as there was a hole in the egg!!! I had to bring her hatching babies in the house and hatch them in a round cake pan under a heat lamp!!!!
Congratulations Everyone!!! Seeing all those cute little fuzzies really makes me want to hit fast forward her and get my babies out!!!! I am only on day 1!!! LOL

Hey everyone!! Glad to hear all is going well so far!!
Good news over here! I got an egg today from my girls!! Now I just have to wait to see when I get a few more to stick in there! I know these ones are fertile. They will be Orpington/cochin mixes..
Well, I just took them out and opened them...not a 1 of them was fertile! The lady has 2 roosters, but I guess they aren't doing their job well. She does have a lot of girls in comparison to the 2 boys.
Oh well...I guess I will have to wait

I candled this morning, only day 5 and I know a bit early, but i didn't see much in any of mine I am hoping it is just too early and maybe the shells are thick or something. But when I candled my outdoor eggs under a broody in the past, I have always been able to see at least something going...
Yay! That is such good news!! I have a bit to go before I can candle these little ones, wish I could hit fast forward!!
