OH MY GAWD that has to be a prize winning picture.... May I share it with some friends?

I love Percherons but I'm trying to control my urge to get more horses as the farm is crazy enough.​

Alexander by now you probably have, but if not you will probably hear peeing if you pick up and egg and probably see pipping. Congrats and take a picture when you can..

I think if I was you I'd go ahead and take those eggs out if they explode from being rotten, you'll have a big mess on your hands.

If they were going to hatch they would have by now, so glad to hear she has accepted her little ones. and they her!

Well, today is our hatch day. Day 20 to be exact, and I'm a little worried. I've picked up a few eggs to tap on when broody Fanny sneaks out to get food and water and I haven't heard any tapping or peeping back.

Last week I picked out a squashed shell from underneath her and I could tell there had been some development (I could see feathers, blood, a little bone) in the squished dried mess, but I just don't know if any are going to hatch

How long should I let her sit before I give up?
