Have you been candling?Hate to be the Party pooper, when should I start listening for peeps under my hen, meaning they are getting ready to hatch, afraid of disturbing the hens at this late date ( about 1 week left) or am I just going to get pecked in the head trying to put my ear so close to the nest? What about putting a stethoscope under the hen? Or am I still just going to get pecked in the head? Don't really mind being pecked in the head if I can get an idea of what is going on. anyone??Please!
Just envious of those whose eggs are already hatching.
That's the only way to be in the know until lockdown...
Day 18 (17) you'll see the chick move into position, and 19 (18) it will pip the internal airsac...and then you'll hear it chirp! (After a long nap). After that it's only a short time until the external pip, so hopefully that gives you a decent timeline on bow long you have to wait...
The good news is you'll hatch before Kiki does!
. Her Mom lives behind us and Step Dad is ill, Mom's house is for sale and there was one of those pods thingys there last week. She is such a great dentist and the only one DD knows. They have to do what is best for them, but man we are really going to miss her a lot. So kind and gentle!
