I am due on the 28th with my first batch and first chickens. I have 4 with veins and 8 that are questionable, but I will let them ride out the storm. I can't wait, same with my 3 and 6 year old. They have made paper chains for each day left. I am crossing my fingers.

I have four brown chinese goose eggs due on the 29th. My temps. have been running a little low (99-99.4) so they may come a day or two later than expected.

With the temps dropping I figured I'd better bring Minny in to set and got a big surprise...THere are 6 eggs under her!! I knew of 4 they are marked did the other girls put them there???? did she steal them??? first egg was the 8th 2 on the 9th and i put the 4th one under her on the 10...when the others slipped under her is anyones guess..how do I know when they are due to hatch or will they all hatch together... I am a new chicken momma sorry if the questions sound stupid...

They probably won't hatch together. Given the chance, the hen may leave the nest before the stragglers hatch.
