Thank you Esther. I doubt it will be out by bedtime. It is 10pm here. I won`t be interfering anyway. I would be scared of doing something wrong.

Congratulations on your chicks! How long will it be till they come out so you can see them properly? Well done Mrs Broody

i'm in the uk too. at least i think you are.
i think it's usually 2 days before mum takes them for a trip but she is very protective so if she does it with me there i'll be surprised.

i hope you have a chick or more by morning.

 

[Ms Steak]

I am in the UK.

I am hoping for a little chick by the morning. It isn`t so exciting watching some eggs sit there really. I would love to see a hatch. Maybe this one will get the others started.

What kind of bantams are they

 

[Ms Steak]

Pekins. I think they are called cochins in America,

I must go and see if there is any progress.

 

[Ms Steak]

Awwww. I can hear it cheeping.

Yey babies! Congrats!

 

[Ms Steak]

I hope so diamonds. Three have internally pipped now. It is all so exciting. I hope they make it out. I had to throw a wet cloth in as the humidity didn't seem high enough and my meter has died on me.

 

[esther5]

great news.....come on chickies. once one hatches the humidity will go up loads. till then i syringe warm water onto the cloth via the vent holes.
