Hi there-
I'm new on the forum. I have a speckled sussex girl who has been sitting on eggs in our coop for a while now. I've been checking on her twice a day to see if anyone has hatched out. Well, finally tonight I saw the first of her brood- pretty sure that there is only one hatched out at this point, though there are more eggs under her (not sure how many). I'm interested in moving them all to a safe location, but don't want to disrupt the hatching out or cause mama to stress out and bail on the venture. Any advice on how long to wait? should all the eggs hatch out within a couple days? Should I put chick food and water nearby in the meantime?
Thanks in advance for your input-
Denise
