my momma chicken has been doing her job well. On 1/5/09
I went out to let them out and I went over to say good morning to her and heard a peep!!!! I looked under and saw two red little feet. She did it,I am sooo proud. But here's the deal today is 1/9/09
and I still have a solo baby. I am new to chickens and I am dying to know how long I should wait. I wasn't going to let them have babies but one of the hens went broody and everytime I tried to get her eggs she'd bite me,so long story short my favorite named Angel took over and so I let her keep 9 eggs.
Originally they had 23!!!LOL
I marked them on 12/23/08 and like 3 were marked two days before that. Some are green eggs and I cannot see threw those.
How long should I wait? I feel bad for my baby turken he's all alone.
Today is really nice so I have put him outside with his mom until tonight.
Any suggestions?
