My Broody hen hatched 3 chicks Sat and Sunday and has 2 more to go, unfortunately, she has no interest in these unhatched eggs now that the chicks have arrived! I can NOT for the life of me get to her sit back on those 2 eggs. she keeps kicking them out of the nest and just sitting on the babies. I can hear the one peeping inside the egg!! Is there anything I can do? We don't have an incubator only a heat lamp. Will they continue to hatch under just the heat lamp? What about humidity? HELP!
I would give the heat lamp a go and put some faceclothes or towels that are dampened with warm water next to them to try and heighten the humidity sry dont have a definate answer for you but hope this helps is what i would do if i didnt have a bator
Thanks, I have them under the heat lamp and I put a wet sponge next to them and a garden "greenhouse" top on it to try to build up the humidity. One has pipped! Hopefully it's warm/humid enough for it to get the rest of the way out! Crossing our fingers!
