Yes, the usually make it. It should only be a scant amount of loss, and they are soooo close to hatch. It usually works out alright, from what I have read.

OH WOW after all this Im really going to be more anxious bout my chickies laying so I can have a hatch rather than fresh eggs!!!

 

[guinea fowl galore]

ok, thats good. anything else happening with your eggs?

 

[kathyinmo]

Ohhhh, I hear cheeping too!

AND .... guess what ....

I have been watching 2 of my hens for 2 days, and now confirm >>>>>
they are broody! They are sitting on the nest at roost time last night and tonight. They have NO eggs under them! Hmmmmm, I am thinking here!

Sounds like at little trip I had. After talking to Tim C. about black Javas, he agreed to get me some chicks if I drove north to Chicago to pick them up at the Museum of Science and Industry downtown on the shores of Lake Michigan. So a family trip to the museum evolved, and the looks the security officers and any other visitors as my husband and I carried two boxes of chicks cheeping through the museum were priceless. I routinely get rolled eyes when I mention driving somewhere to pick up chicken eggs (a different visit to the Abraham Lincoln Museum in Springfield with a side trip for more eggs on spring break) but a carryon to a plane is a new one for me! Mmm I 'll have to do more planning for the next vacation we take! Ha!

well, It would not be YOU incubating. and really it would be mean not to give her some eggs, she would stay there forever sitting on nothing

how sad. you wouldn't do that to your hen would you. and, a, umm there are probably some black silkie eggs there for her to have

 

[kathyinmo]

Just what I was thinking!

I am anxiously awaiting this hatch. Kathy, I have a broody BO and, wait for it.... WHITE LEGHORN. I though they weren't supposed to go broody ever.

Silly birds! I thought the same thing! Wow, that is surprising, for sure! Did you give the broodies some eggs?

Apparently you haven't seen my bucket of eggs....

I don;t need to GIVE them anything. They have plenty to choose from.
