No... she sat brilliantly up to yesterday. One chick pipped yesterday and is now dead - apparently, it sounds like it didn't make it out of the shell properly. My mate has just been up to check for me (I'm at work) and he says the rest of the eggs have been scattered all over and are stone cold.

That just leaves the Cream Legbars in the incubator, which I don't have high hopes for - mr postman was less than helpful!  :(

Didn't candle them, but am a bit pessimistic

Ah well, I'll line some more up this weekend and off we go again!

Nope. All dead and rest of the eggs stone cold.

The good news is that, despite having been lost in the post, and in an incubator that has cut out TWICE, a couple of my Cream Legbar eggs are pipping as we speak. I'm quite astonished.

Amazing. Four chicks out of nine and, whilst ordinarily I'd be disappointed, I'm over the moon.

I think two of each, but then again, it's a first for me!

I took a pic for Cara to look at but it's not the best... I'll see if I can upload it.
