I thought I'd start a chick thread! Here is Hermione all tucked up on her (well not hers but she doesn't care!) eggs:
She is sitting on 5 aracuanas, an Australorp, an Orpington, a Bresse, and a surprise
Today is day 5 - apparently the aracuanas (blue eggs) will hatch at day 20 and the others probably the next day so 2nd and 3rd of May just keeping my fingers crossed that we get a good % that make it and also that I get a good % of girls
I'll try to get a pic of the pretty eggs later if I catch her up have a food / water / poo break I forgot before I put them in with her.
I need to candle them (look in with a strong torch) to see they are developing as apparently they can explode if they are not working but I'm not sure exactly when to do it - I've been told day 5 (today) and day 10! Need to do some more research!
I'll keep you updated with hopefully some adorable new chick pics in a couple of weeks
