When you candle with a flashlight.I do not know how long to wait before giving up. Found some eggs out of the best box. Cannot tell if there is movement. There is just a small air pocket. Been in incubator for 2 weeks.

My broody sucked, she killed all the brahma eggs I gave her a week before hatching, so I gave her chicks, 7 pullet chicks, so far she is a good momma at least, this pic was when I pushed her back off to grab the eggs out and give her the babies. She had one job = sitting there and letting 8 chicks hatch out of their shells!!!! ughhhh

Dumb broody

 

[Pensmaster]

Good luck! 

Thanks you too. What eggs did you set? It sounds like a great place for them.

 

[Leave a LightOn]

Good morning everyone. A new birth for a new morning!

Sweetly bucolic. Lovely images!

Ah, the joys of a broody. Ya don't have to care what day it is.

Or turn eggs, or monitor temp, or humididity What could be sweeter?

Sounds like you are busy. I like the Icelandic chickens, but one can only have so many and I already have too many.
