Homemade Hatcher Experiment

I think it sounds like too much work too. I'll stick with a broody hen, the laziest way!

Broodies are the best!

 

[Conan]

Broodies are the best!

They really are. I just popped six buff Chantecler bantam eggs under one today. I'll check back in three weeks.

Awesome! What type of broody is she?

 

[Conan]

Awesome! What type of broody is she?

A mottled Bantam Cochin. My finest little bird. Her name is Fox.

 

[casportpony]

She's beautiful!

 

[Conan]

She's beautiful!

Thank you. She really is a doll. She's the flock leader! I was not aware of this until today. I witnessed tiny Fox hopping off her eggs to punish a bully chicken, then console the victim. The bully chicken was the one that I thought was in charge. I guess I need to pay better attention!

After a little assistance, the duck is out!

Wow, has it been three weeks since it hatched?

 

[Conan]

Wow, has it been three weeks since it hatched?

Holy crap, has it really? Wow. Updated pics?

 

[casportpony]

Holy crap, has it really? Wow. Updated pics?

Yeah, I did a read-back and she hatched on the 30th. I'll get more pictures tomorrow.

Time sure does fly. Can't wait to see your little duckie!
