Hi all (*waves*)
I have a broody BO sitting on 6 eggs, due to hatch this Friday - 5 days time!
This is my third broody hen since the start of September, lol. Apparently, it's catching!
The first hen hatched a sole chick out of 11 eggs 6 weeks ago. Not a good hatch, and sadly I have to say goodbye to my little cockerel as he is being shipped to a new home in 2 days time.
The second hen did much better, hatching 6 out of 7 eggs of yet to be determined sex. Five out of those 6 survived, and one passed after a day. One of those 5 chicks is going with the 6 week old chick (above) to a new home on Tuesday too.
Which brings me to this, my third girl. She is on 6 eggs and has been stuck like glue now for 16 days. She started with 10 eggs, three of which I discarded (clear) and one of which SHE discarded. I trust that she knows what she's doing!
Anyway, here's hoping for a successful hatch for everyone!
