So yesterday I had 6 peepers.
Today I got NINE peepers.
Mom has led the 9 to water and left nest.
One egg left in nest that has externally pipped.

Will she come back to the nest?
Do I need to intervene?
And if I do intervene, what the heck do I do!!! LOL

Take the egg, find a means of warming it up and once the chick has hatched slip it under the hen in the evening - good luck.
 
I think I'm leaving it for now.
She brought all nine home for dinner so I'm hoping she's heading back to nest soon.
That will allow her to hatch out the last one.
If she's not back on nest by dark, I'll go get it and do the best I can.


 
I sure will!
She still has them all on nest this morning.
Hoping this afternoon when she brings them out that #10 is with them.

she's going to have her wings full that's for sure.
