I’ve posted to my state thread looking for an incubator to borrow but in the event I can’t get one?
Long story short, 12 eggs candled last weekend all looked viable - 10 looked to have a week or so left. (They’re various silkie x bantam crosses so about 19 day incubation). 2 are much much younger (broody takes eggs from her sisters’ nests, even after she’s been on a clutch for a while - we’ve caught her at it). Four chicks have hatched between Friday and this morning and she’s now off the other ones.
Anything I can do without an incubator?
Thanks for any advice (up to and including- let it it go)
