I am only hatching one, because we actually didn't want to hatch in the first place. We had a broody, and we were busy so forgot to check for eggs. Then we decided to hatch since she had sat on it for 3 days, and we didn't want to kill it. Will the baby be lonely? It will be left with Mom, so I'm assuming no....
Hey everyone....I have some sad news. I was removing the unfertlized eggs a day b4 i expected it to hatch, picked the fertile egg up, and heard a peep and saw a hole! I was amazed and instantly captivated by the little baby inside. Here's the bad news: I left the house that night to sleep over at my cousins house and when i came back the following night there was no trace of the chick, or the egg. I think one of the other hens ate it!! I burst into tears and after that hated all the chickens for a while. That's why I haven't been on here. I still am so mad, but i still like some of our hens. I think i know who killed the chick, and whenever i see her, i get infuriated.
