Random hatch along

[1goose2ducks]

So I don’t know why all my chickens and ducks have randomly gone broody but if anyone else has any eggs in the incubator or under a hen join in. My hen is an old English game bantam and she is on day three of successfully incubating a goose egg.



(I have never done a hatch along so please inform me if I’m doing something wrong)

I'm on day 9 of a second attempt, i screwed up my first batch.

I try candling but cant really see veins, though something is going on in some of them. There is a dark spot that is getting bigger in some of them. Though i just read static air incubators should be at 101, and i had it at 99. I think I'm over thinking it....

Well good luck on your second attempt

Well good luck on your second attempt

Thanks, its at 101.3 now . I wish my thermometer was a simple one not the expensive one that is accurate and gives you second by second .01 changes. Your lucky you got your eggs under a chicken!

Is that her as your avatar?

No that is my rooster who LOVES sitting on eggs (until he breaks them) This is her when she wasn’t broody.
