A friend has 7 in her care, thankyou!!! 7 hatched out of 7 eggs approx 16/11/10 over 36 hours early!!!! These will be good strong birds.
Things I've learnt this breeding season:
One egg looked "mottled" when eggs were set under hen. Have seen this mottled look on eggs before, now I know it does not indicate a poor quality egg for setting.
Earlier chicks hatch the stronger and healthlier they are.
Place chicks 2 days old under hen that already had 14 day olds under her. Did this with Fraser and Rosie successfully.
Set a total of 26 eggs, 25 were fertile, 24 hatched.
And most importantly, don't incubate TOO many eggs!!!
