Miss Ohio, my silkie knows something is not right.......

She came home from the fair, a week ago & layed 1 egg, & went broody.

So today while she was out, I made a nest box & added 5 fertile banty eggs that were collected at the fair. I have no clue what breeds they are, as when we gathered eggs each day, we all put them in a box. Miss Ohio's unfertile egg is the largest one in the center.

So when she came back inside, after pecking & squawking at the door she was a little confused by the new setup in her cage.
I imagine this is what she was thinking....

Hmmm, where the heck did that shoe box come from?

Somethings not right here.

Where the heck did all these eggs come from?

Ok, I'll pose for 1 pic, then I have to get busy being broody.

Now, I just gotta roll this last 1 under me.

Now get lost, & don't bug me for 21 days.

Cute. Too bad you didn't grab you a couple call duck eggs while you were at it.

Oh she is sooo pretty!

 

[SpottedCrow]

That's a big egg from such a little bum...

Just an Update. After 1 week, 3 of the 5 eggs appear to be fertile.

This is only my 2nd attempt at hatching eggs in 7 years

, so 2 weeks to go.

Good luck with the hatch

Good luck! She seems to be doing pretty good! Can't wait to see them when they hatch!

I love it! Can't wait for the updates.
My male finch built a nest, then he sat in there all the time, then the female sat in there, then she must have laid an egg, now they take turns on that one egg, but he is more broody than her. He's very proud to do his duty.

I candled for the last time today. 1 egg seems to have quit developing, but the other 2 are completely dark except for the air cell. If all goes well they should hatch this weekend.
