On the whole the broodies have done well.
Hen on 4 duck eggs for a neighbour hatched two - one egg had a dead duckling in and the other had broken.
Big buff sussex had 8 hen eggs, hatched all 8 two days ago - stood on one and squashed it today. Nearly did another tonight, until I rescued it. Clumsy or what?!!
RIR hen had 8 eggs - now this was a disappointing hatch. 3 hatched, but very slow, over 24 hours. Looked at the other eggs, and one egg had all the shell missing and a dead chick in, another egg had a dead chick, and 3 eggs with nothing in.
Little wyandotte bantie, who hatches every summer hatched all 5 of her eggs.
Two more banties did well - one has 6 and the other 4, both have 3 cream legbar chicks. One of the chicks is diddy, and I suspect looking at its black beak, and black, hairy feet, it could be the egg from the miniature silkie.
One more bantie to hatch, she is sitting on 8 bantie eggs.
