If she doesn't continue to sit, they're going in a friends bator.
What a good mama!
There's no coaxing her to move?
If I force her..
I think they're both under a wing..I'll get a pic real quick
yes, she's being a good mama. At least she's in one place now, and not moving the eggs or chicks all around. No sleep due to her pushing eggs around ALL night! lol

That must be a very noisy process, all that egg-moving. Just looked over at mine and they're still rocking. I'm torn at what to do...leave them til tonight or lock them down now... what to do..what to do..
Now will she sit for the last two..those are the eggs she laid 5 days AFTER sitting. They're alive, but if she wont stay, in the bator for a few days they go
Here is a pic of the first 2 that hatched. The new one is soaking wet

It was crazy! I mean lockdown is for humidity and she kept getting up, leaving the nest for 10 minutes at a time to eat and drink. She would push the poor eggs across the hamper bottom
I thought I would have shrinkwrapped babies because of this! The last baby just hatched..it's under mama's left wing. She's taking great care of them

Scarlett, my heart goes out to you hon. Have you indeed found that 100% those eggs are dead? If you were here in florida, I'd gladly give you a baby to bond to. I'm sad from your ordeal and there's nothing I can do
