It's getting noisy under my mama!! She just shifted around a bit while I was watching and I caught glimpse of two pips!!

We have a total of 10 babies. I am thinking that 12 is too many for my girls. I had given my other broody 12 eggs and 10 hatched. The weird thing is that they all fully developed and start to hatch. Do you think that there isn't enough moisture for them to hatch? This is the 1st time for each broody. They are heavy breeds. BO and Red Rock.

We've got five hatched with two more pipped and one making an awful lot of noise - expecting a pip soon from that one!!
