Day 18 I think. I am expecting that if any hatch it will be a late hatch. The first hen would get up a few time a day and stay out for what I feel is a little too long.

The new white mama is stayin gout and not getting up at all. I tried coaxing her out to eat and drink.. But she is a big girl and hopefully only has to set a few days anyways....

When mine went broody I would take her off the nest 2 times a day of 10 or so minutes. If she broodie poops on your eggs you will take her out for a break too. Giant poo smells like

I am so not looking forward to the giant broody poop. And she must have heard me talking about her. She got up and ate this morning.

It was a whopping 16 degress out yesterday, maybe she did not want them to get too cold Good mama. I did give her soem scrambled duck eggs last night Myabe if I bribe her she will stay.

She fluffs up much better than the last one and seems to keep the eggs more arranged than scattered like the last one.

Just a few more days....​

I have not candeled there so I have no idea if they are any good or not.

A few more days and I should find out.

I'm rooting for you (and her).

My first try at incubating eggs, I ended up with 12 out of 14. I was so exicted, you'd have thought I sat on them myself!

I know how you feel.

I put 42 eggs in the incubator a few days ago as well. Not to mention the 25 chicks brooding in the garage. I am not sure what I was thinking at the time but oh well.

They could be hatching any day now... I think this is day 20 ish.

I put 2 eggs under my broody, and now I have 2 chicks.
