hatching time
« on: June 02, 2009, 20:36 »
My clutch are due to hatch tomorrow (3rd) One as already hatched but no sign of pipping from others. How long do I give them before I discard the eggs?

If you calculate day you set eggs as day "0" and the next as day "1" . I would not discard eggs until around day 23. Sometimes larger eggs take a bit longer. Are they in an incubator or under a broody? Have you candled the eggs to check for fertile ones?
Hope this helps! :)

Often a broody knows when they are dud and chucks them out! :) Anyway new chicks can easily go without food and water after hatching for 24 hours, if she is still sitting would leave her to it for a day or two. :)

 another hatched  last night but this afternoon the hen has abandened the other two. When I arrived home from work they were stone cold. I suppose its too late to put them under another broody?

The chances are they are no good  :(, the hen can sense any movement in the eggs before they hatch and usually would not of left them it that had been the case.
Staffies are softer than you think.
