My chicken's broody, so I just gave in... (**Both Ducklings Are Out**)

Quote:
The original hen to be setting did reject it... but it was under my 3rd broody. (I have 3 broody hens through all of this.)

I did hear quacking in one of the eggs... I held the other 2 up to my ear while I was taking the 3rd out. So thats' a good sign that it is making sounds today... never heard this before. I wasn't sure I even could, but I do hear people say when their chicks are ready to pip they hear chirps from the incubator.

Guess #3 broody was desperate to have an egg to sit on

I always heard some peeping before my eggs in the bator pipped. So I think hearing quacking is a good sign!!!

None... they are literally taking turns with these eggs...

I've had one broody who is now sitting on nothing since I had to throw the bad egg this morning.

I'm thinking about getting some runner duck eggs... gotta convince my husband first!
