lu bantam chickens
Songster
Well so far none of the eggs hatched, Me really upset
I managed to put light crack on one egg from me by mistake day 13, then I put tape and candle wax on it to seal it then back under the girls about a week just under it had got more cracked by girls as they seemed to like to eat the wax - smelt bad so had to remove the egg - thought I would look in the egg and a cute little chick was forming so upsetting my fault for that egg
So am down to the two eggs, tried to candle eggs not so easy in day, managed to do it later bit darker candled eggs and can see chicks in there
But now day 35 so late not sure they are going to hatch at all so upsetting stress full, I have got the chick food
Not sure whether to get some more chicken eggs try again? any thoughts with the girls so want the eggs to hatch
I know the girls got up once or twice a day for food and drink, poop and a dust bathe - would it be something they done or me to why they haven't hatched
Help please and thanks
