Let it alone for now. Read about one a week or so ago that did the same thing & hatched just fine on its own.

A couple of hatches ago I had 6 of my 9 eggs do that. They all hatched just fine on their own.

Thank you!

Thanks for the input on brooding them together, everyone.

OMG, I now have at least TWOthree week old Cream Legbar chicks crowing. Holy mackerel!

Quick question:

I've been collecting more eggs to set from my Cream Legbar girl (plan to set about 8). I have 20 chicks coming from a breeder - she's going to set them so they are due March 29 (which means they will be set March 8 or 9 - I need to check my calendar again).

I'd like to set my eggs so my chicks will be the same age as the chicks that are coming, and then put them all together to brood. Alternatively I could set these eggs a little earlier (like today).

Anyone have any comments? Thoughts? It would be a serious struggle to try to brood the chicks separately, hence this idea to put them together...

You're only talking a few day's difference. Like Mr. Leeroy, I set 2 batches of eggs back to back, which made the chicks 3 weeks apart. I kept them separate for a bit so the littles could gain strength, and then integrated them. The biggest difficulty doing it this way was that the older chicks had full run of a 4 x 8 loft with 8 x 8 secure run underneath, and I didn't feel that the littles were ready for that much freedom yet. By 2 weeks, the littles were flitting around both levels like a flock of parakeets.

It's really cute now. It'll likely stop being cute in no time flat...

I had a rooster that crowed at 3 weeks. He did it for a week and I never heard another crow until he was almost 5 months old.
