they're due to hatch this weekend/monday, kind of late for that, probably.
why can't the dumb biddies go broody in the summer???
well, if they don't hatch, I guess I'll try to get her UNbroody.

Well, give her at least 3 or 4 days extra, since the eggs have been getting cool. When Gretta was broody, her eggs got cooled a lot. She was in a bad spot, and had too many eggs. I had one hatch on time (sort of), then one hatch a day or so later. I had another one that I opened thinking it was dead. It was on day 25 or 26, and was still alive, it looked to be about day 16 or 17? These were all her eggs, so they had been sat on the same amount of time.
Oh, and the one that hatched on time was one that I had brought into the house after it had been kicked out of the nest. He is out running around in the yard
