how exciting...do you have any more hatching plans this year?

 

[Ms Steak]

I have 2 polish eggs due this time next week, all being well. I can`t do anymore till after our holiday at the end of next month. It is a lot to ask someone to look after little chicks as well as my cats, dogs and parrots, oh yes, and the fish. I only wanted a few anyway. I hope we don`t have loads of roosters.

Now then, listen closely. This is very important.

SIT ON YOUR HANDS.

You are at a dangerous stage. For some folks they experience the overwhelming urge "to help" if a chick is not progressing at what they believe to be an appropriate rate. Don't do this. Just sit on your hands and let nature takes it course.

Of course you can take photos. You are already aren't you? Don't deny it. We all did.

Have a drink of something good and relax. Enjoy the show.

3 marans and 2 silkies now. They will all be lovely and fluffy by the morning. I am emotionally drained now.

3 of each. That's 50% hatch rate from ebay eggs with terrible air sacs. Not to bad.
