Help! Day 20 & mama chicken wont sit anymore... *** Update day 25***

My Dad says that the eggs must be removed from under her on day 20or 21 or she may smoosh them. So she may be moving herself off for that reason?

Just a guess..I am new at this also.

Thanks Airheart43 I have coverd all possable ways for chickies to wiggle out!

I promply realized that as soon as I posted the first pictures!

I do have a brooder set up and ready to go... I have so much nervous energy. I could have had threeset up by now!

Thanks
 
Very excited for you! Will be watching to see how things go.

Good luck!

No that is not true. A hen is perfectly capable of hatching the eggs. How do you think it was done before we had incubators.

The hen knows how to raise the humidity and hatch better than we can. My broody just hatch gorgeous chicks.

Thanks Miss Prissy

I have an aunt named Prissy! She is the best.

I put the others back in with a just newly broody hen. I am stalking her because she is only kinda broody and dosen't want to be on the nest all day.

She is moving them around... hope she dosen't drowned them! Oh the madness!!!!

The other little buggar is rollong around peeping and stuff.

It's ambilical is still kind of attached. I hope that is ok. I hope the baby ok. I think it just pipped too early.

What a day!
 
So today is day 25 and the little chick who hatched in the Wolf-O-Bator is doing G.R.E.A.T!

Day 25 the other three eggs are under the chicken mama. They are still wiggling and pecking in their shells.

NO PIPS YET!

Should I be concerned???
