Hi everyone ... I am strictly city backyard chick person. I had a very broodie Buff Orphington, so I bought her some fertilized eggs to sit upon. Her buddie hen died recently so she was alone.
Guy gave me mix --- 2 Bantie, and 2 Leghorn (I could ID those), the rest a mix of light brown. Bought 12, 2 broke under hen. They were collected over 2 days (Jan 21 & Jan 22) and placed under my hen on the 3rd day (Jan 23). Since they are mostly dark eggs, haven't tried to candle them.
When do I start counting my 21 days ? If I count from the date placed under the hen, we should hatch on Friday, February 13th.
Help ! Is this correct ?
Thanks
