Hi all, jumping in here! Mrs. C is set to hatch her chicks on Sunday. We had candled on day 13 and only saw 3 that looked viable, but then a few days later I noticed 5 eggs outside her body, cold to the touch. One of them was an egg we deemed viable :( However, I pushed them back under her and am hoping for the best on Sunday. Seriously, I will be very happy if just one hatches out of the twelve we put under her. I realize now, a little too late, that twelve was probably more than she could handle. Who knew? I am totally new at this and clueless! Anyway, I really hope she is successful. She deserves this so much, she's been so diligent in her care of the eggs. AWWWW! It's so cute and sweet really. Her little legs splayed out under her trying so hard to keep all eggs warm. Please, please, please God help her have just one little chick to care for. She's been a real trooper through this and we love her so much! Just give her a baby to care for and help end her broodiness! (At least for now)!
