And waiting on the welsummers. I have 1 dozen of each.
My broody is on 1 dozen 4 eggs of each breed.
And she wont tell me a thing about whats going on under her.

Update this is my hatch so far

Blue Andalusian- 4 hatched 2 peps, 2 to go, 1 chick died it had its intestines on the out side. 4 under hen?

congratulations. I bet you are really excited. Good luck

I am hatching today too and have lots and lots of questions. I think it would be easier for the hen to do this. Maybe next year tho..

Thank you all , I have the one dead chick I need to get it out but don't want to mess up the hatch.
What should I do?

Well I couldn't stand it any longer I had to get the dead one out and help one hatch.
It was a welsummer and the egg was golf ball shaped. It couldn't zip and it was dried out I thing I did the right thing.
