You're BAD!! You and Keyt, EGGING me on!
Well, today I put four eggs under my broody, I felt so sorry for her. I gave her a BR, a FBCM, and ISA and an EE egg. Now what? I'm nervous already. How long does it take and is there anything I need to do for her? I take her out of the nest box once or twice a day when I go out to the coop and make her go out in the yard and poop and eat and get a drink. Should I still keep doing that or should I be separating her from the other chickens? Don't laugh, I've never done this before! I have also been checking out the rare breeds at Greenfire farms and found one that is spectacular, but WAY out of my price range. Check out the Rhodebars at
http://greenfirefarms.com/store/category/chickens/rhodebar/ They are auto-sexed and lay a sky blue tinted egg. I'm going to do some research and decide on a breed and then will ask you or Keyt or whoever is incubating at the time to hatch six of them for me. Thanks for offering to hatch for me babi!
Stacykins - That genetic hackle is awesome!!
I just googled them and looks like it is not easy to find hatching eggs. Can I ask where you ordered yours from? What else do you know about them? Do they lay very well?
21 days. You can do it.
I have some that will probably start hatching early next week. I can't wait, lemon barred orpington. YAY they're sooo pretty and thanks to my partner in crime, ChickwannaB I'm gonna have some!!!
