YO GEORGIANS! :)

Ohhhh Flowerrrrrrrrrrrrr any babies yet!?!?

I heard a chick (or chicks) under the broody!, but they would just be hatching and my broody isn't budging. Haven't seem a thing yet! Driving me crazy, but at least I know I have one! The broody had been pushing one of the olive eggs out from under her off and on during the last few weeks. I keep pushing it back. Well, it was in the corner by itself so I decided it must be bad. I opened it up and yes, it was an early death. I imagine the bacteria from when a few eggs broke in the beginning (before I moved her to private accommodations) and goo got on the eggs probably killed it. I knew that might happened, but I decided to risk it. So, she still had 11 eggs under her. I figured she will be hatching today and tomorrow!

How about you!??!

Fantastic!! Nothing here yet, but mine are ALWAYS late-21/day 22 hatchers for some reason.

My broody kicked an egg during hatch last summer. I found it at the opposite end of the coop, covered with ants. :( It was crying. It was horrible. And it smelled like death. I don't know if she kicked it out because of the ants, or vice versa.

Anyway I brought it in, took the shell off and rinsed it in warm water and vinegar. Long story short, it got to die a peaceful death under a heat lamp as opposed to Mom's plan. Poor baby though. Better to go the way of your Olive egg
 
Oh wow!! I just got a pip while I was sitting here looking!! It's VERY low, though. :/
