What am I doing?
Our girl, Cocoa, has been sitting on some eggs for about 3 weeks now. I've been periodically candling them and they look like they're at the final stage (based on diagram pictures I've been seeing online). I can even see the babies moving around!
I'm thinking they're going to hatch any day now, but I don't know what to do afterward. I just purchased a small brooder just in case she rejects them, but do I just let her do her thing if she accepts them or still move them to the brooder?
She's currently in an elevated nesting box. Should I move them when they start moving around so they don't fall out? So many questions. I'm excited, but scared at the same time.
There's only 2 eggs so it's not going to be too overwhelming, just no idea what to do! Any and all suggestions are welcome!
