MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

Lovey

Those few moments each day when Peggy's not bossing Mary around are genuinely lovely

Good evening folks

CCCL is correct. Eggs stored more than 10 days are more likely to fail unless special measures are taken to extend their viability.

That's good to know, thanks for confirming.

Is his foot still improving?

It is MJ but it's terribly slow. His attitude had improved a lot though. I don't think the foot hurts him any longer which is halfway there.

What about eggs left in the nest? Say for example a hen lays more than 10 eggs before she decides to sit?

That is great news. I'm very glad he is starting to get his confidence back.

I'm very curious about this too.

Hurry.

Not in one, by the looks of it.

My thinking exactly
Maybe an incubator would be better, but again, who would care for them.
Definitely an idea for another day, not today...

My son has had chicks hatch in his classroom before.

I think Ivy could be trusted with chicks but Myth has me worried.

Charlie is a stubborn broody, so I’d like to hope she’d be a good mum.

My frizzle breeder friend has said she had viable eggs after three weeks, but won’t sell them if they are more than 10 days old.
