So update our main broody girl kiwi she jumped on n off the 4 eggs today teaching the chicks to eat n drink and such….sprinkles didn’t wanna be in there at all today either! I decided to take the eggs tonight and I checked them they are all in the incubator but I am totally guessing on how old from candling I believe they are 13-15 days old and so I set our incubator nurture right 360 on 14 in hopes this works for lockdown….. I am guessIng tho…. You all were right I think hormones and the chicks needing her to help them learn she felt maybe they were not going to hatch…. she prob would have sat on them tonight but I saw her changing today and sprinkles did too. I really also went to bed Lastnight thinking what if the older baby chicks peck on the ones that pip in another week and kill them or something ! I just am wanting to be the most cautious because we want them all to live! Also I will have to figure out how to integrate these ones being 13 or so days later ! Uhggg
