Broody Emergency

I think I'd take them away. You could strap them next to your belly or chest in a loose sling to see if they will hatch. Your body heat will be just right.

So sorry! If you do get any that hatch I'd put them in a brooder and not give them to her.

Another chick is trying to hatch! A chicken and not a duckling yet! on day 26! WOO? She's still under the momma, we plan on taking it away when it's done hatching. I wish I could get some sleep instead of being up for this though, ugh.

Chaos Theory, you probably need a nap, but please post an update as soon as you can!

I'll be thinking about your little chicklets until then!

They sure were giving it their best- trying to hatch after 26 days!!

Thank you! It hatched! I was so worried all day because I could not be home, had to go to a meeting two hours away, and I thought the temp. would be too hot and it would get cooked. I did not expect to find a chick when we got home, but I did =] I'll take some pictures soon and put them on. I'm also hoping for some of the ducklings to hatch soon. Thanks for the support everyone! I will sleep like a baby tonight.
