November/December "Hatch-a-Long"

[tommysgirl]

Day 21.5 I heard cheeping till mama shushed it...I didn't know they did that but it makes sense. Anyway, no shell fragments or little heads poking out as of 7:45 this morning but still exciting things are happening

What I really want to do climb up in the coop and watch

but I have to work

Counting on DH to keep an eye and an ear on the coop.

I keep seeing my roo mount one of my laying hens but I haven't seen any eggs laid in the nest for about 5 days now. Shouldn't I see her laying an egg?

Quote: I've been seeing my ducks but she's not old enough to lay...I don't think...but I do believe they wouldn't be interested if they weren't of age...maybe she'll lay any day!?

Roosters won't "cover" a hen unless she is mature. Unless your roo is a weirdo....lol

S

how old is she?

She's 2 years old. The only thing I can think if is she's a little thrown off bc I've separated her from her 1.5 yr old daughter bc she's gone broody. They were inseparable but that's why I separated them. The daughter went broody and she would go in the nest to be w her and continue to lay eggs which would then stagger hatchlings.
