Hey @gimmie birdies and @Scott214 stalking this thread for some little chick pics

I see you asked about eggs getting cold & can they still hatch. I have the same concern after getting home tonight to see my broody suddenly sitting in another nest with her eggs over there in the nest box due the 28th; I know the eggs can endure some cold while the broody makes a quick get-away to do her business. I put her back in with her eggs & am crossing my fingers, there's still a chance. So, hang in there & I'll be thinking of you & your eggs. Maybe someone has had this experience so close to hatching & has some encouraging words to share. Best wishes.

Thank you so much! Best wishes to you too. Fingers crossed.

I would be so excited. What types of bantams are they? Were you expecting mostly full size chickens?

Broody is due on Sunday. I'm so excited

Well here is a PIP!!! It’s from one of the silkie eggs! Crazy thing poking out on the wrong end!

Yes, expected large fowl, ......guess what? He wrote. Back and apologised. Said his sister did this for him while he was out for an emergency. That he would be more than happy to send me large fowl. I said yes, and hoped all worked out with the emergency.
