I’ve been pretty eggcited lately because I am now hatching more babies and maybe a Plymouth Rock for the first time in my life. I have the mix breeds but I’m super eggcited for my Plymouth Rock.

Lol love your joke "egg cited"
and yeah it would be pretty fun to hatch a Plymouth Rock! They are very pretty chicks xx

They are close to my favourite breed. I thought I had Plymouth Rock babies but turns out they weren’t. I am praying I will hatch at least one.

She is Plymouth Rock because Maran's lay dark brown eggs

So she is actually a Maran but I searched up eggs from Maran's and it actually came up as a chart of different ones and white ones were on there. (I can't take a picture because it isn't letting me attach files)


So let's talk about the egg of the chick, because I think you can help?
My hen has been off the nest with her chick and I think abandoned her eggs, but I've been keeping them on their hoping it will hatch. I still can't hear any chirping or see any pips or sign of movement. It's the end of day 22 and I don't think it will hatch but I'm hoping the best for it.

Those are eggs they may lay occasionally lay. My Plymouth Rock I own looks very much like a Maran and I mistaken it as one. The only way to tell is the egg colour.

No I haven't. It's currently day 23, but my broody is still sitting on the egg. Should I candle the egg?
