Broody hatch-a-long!!! With Pippin!

Did she get off the nest at all since “lockdown”?

Hey good morning
I got sad and great new
Sad one first
My first internal pipper died before external pip
But I have 5 chicks right now

It’s so sad when they made it all the way to hatch day and not make the hatch

Nope. I've been feeding her

These are the silkies and below is the noiler

Now I have one noiler left who is yet to pip

I open the egg and I think it is better that he died because he gave no eyes at all. He is jus deformed

Oh sorry about the first one, it wasn't meant to be.
5 chicks?! That's amazing! I'll need pictures

I’m nervous, mine won’t eat on the nest, even when I offer scratch she would drink though, so I whisked up some eggs and diluted it with water. She took a few sips.

I’m going to try variety of foods in a few hours (including my cat’s wet food), line them up, and see if there’s one she’ll take a fancy to.

In some ways, that’s quite amazing. Nature knows best

She knows what she's doing so don't worry. Pippin eats chick crumb right out of my hand. She doesn't drink much so I dip my finger in the water and she licks it
