Dora was off the eggs more then she was on them...or so it seemed - one already hatched today.
Now why is it that I have used a hygrometer and thermometer and all the blessed equipment and sponges and straw tubes with dripping water and I could only hatch out about 20% and these gals can just get it done.
So another question... I interrupted my other broody (took out 2 eggs to put under another) and poor thing - she pooped all over
. Will that be a problem for the babies when they hatch sometime next week? Do I need to do a clean up or should I stop bothering mother nature and just sit back
. My problem is that I've got 4 broodies and just don't want a whole bunch more...so I'm dividing up the eggs to make everyone happy.
or so I thought
Thanks for any advice
