I guess you were not following. Elsa and Jenny started laying eggs in the crate too! :barnie..Staggered hatch. I tossed out 4 viable eggs but way to early. Yesterday I removed the last 3 eggs so Bonnie would begin to feed her 4 hatched. One egg was dead and these two are alive. I think the one is internally pipped but I'll know more tonight in the dark. :idunno
Definitely not an ideal situation at all...:barnie
I can't even follow that. :barnie So you don't know how many days? Darn guys and their bathroom usage.

Yes...I don't know these ones dates to hatch but are gull and almost ready.
I know I want to knock on the door and tell him to hurry up! :barnie
 
After they hatch and dry off stuff them under the hen and hopefully she doesn't even notice the extras. You may want to remove them all for a second to confuse her.
Old lady told me to take two of her Chicks or even Broody poop smelling bedding and rub on the new Chicks. She won't notice a difference then.
 
Chickens and birds in general don’t have a very strong sense of smell so no need to rub the chicks with poop.
I wasn't going to rub poo on them. Just the bedding..:gig
I don't know honestly and I'll definitely do anything to get them in with Bonnie..:wee...:woot

It's generally the sound of their chirps I think. It's why the hen talks to her eggs in those last few days and the chicks talk back so they can bond even before hatch.
