The giant Cochin hatch off

[bumpershoot]

OR, can a LF Partridge Cochin hatch seven Midget White turkey eggs???? The world is about to find out.


Here are the eggs from Onthespot, who is sea-leval ish. I am at 6800ft.

Our broody challenger...

Can our broody meet the challenge? Can she bring 7 turkey eggs to term AND compensate for the difference in altitude?

The answer to these pressing questions and more will be revealed in 29 days from now.

My monies on the hen, Bumper. Had a little Spanish Game hen hatch a goose egg one time. The gosling was bigger than mama in 2 weeks. Have fun........Pop

Good luck!

hmmm, a mysterious case of eggnesia? "...but, I don't REMEMBER laying those!"

 

[bumpershoot]

I'm definitely subscribing to this post

Go Mama! Go Mama! Good luck on your challenge!

Lookit her spread out! Quick! I'll send ya five more, make it an even dozen!!! She is in VERY SERIOUS broody mode! Look for some HUGE poops from that gal! She will save it up for two days it looks like!

Oh yes, those broody poops are, um, odoriferous.

She is a very good broody, that's for sure. I could probably put two more eggs under her...one under each wing-pit!

Right now if you view her from the top she looks like a toad. I don't think she's got a square inch left of real estate left under her.
