Hi everyone!!

Heatherfeather - good luck with your broodys!!

I had eggs in my brinsea - I never marked down when I set them. I thought they were due about 10 days ago. I candled them and they weren't ready. I was staying at a friends house the last 3 days - when I got home last night I found one dry and fluffy baby in the turning Brinsea. I set up a lock down bator last week and it was still turned on, so I threw that chick and all the other eggs that were set at the same time over to lock down. I had 2 more hatch about 2 hours ago, but the rest look like they are duds. I'll candle them tonight - just to check.

Ooops!!!

Went and picked up the SLW eggs today, asked him to bring me 4-6 eggs, he brought me a dozen. (Adding to my chicken math problem.)

I successfully put the eggs under my broody girl and I think I got all of the other eggs out from under her, and I didn't even get pecked!

If she rolls some out of the nest should I put them back under her or assume they are bad?

So nice of him.

I wouldn't assume they are bad at this point. As time goes on smell or candle the ones she kicks out. Is she a large bird? Also if you have an incubator make sure it's clean ready to plug in at a moments notice. If she abandons them part way through you'll have a back up.

Actually with the twelve you may end up with the desired 6 chicks. Nice start.

Not until about a week would I assume duds.

For those that like cucumbers these are very easy to grow have great flavor and prolific.

Well, I really wasn't planning on having any chicks, but this is my first broody so I had to let her try!

They are funny looking. Rareseeds .com have them. Interesting story about how they found them. I'm going to try to put them in the leftover pickle juice to see how they do. Seed core is tart but flesh is good.
