[Lost in France]

I have used the incubator but much prefer the chicks to have a real mummy. I think they do much better. I have started some off before in the incubator (peacocks mind!), and then as soon as they hatch given them to mum with her others and it's been fine! I put 7 eggs under my little silkies this year and everyone hatched and thrived, you really can't beat a real mum!

So sorry about your loss, it's so sad when you waited so long but now...maybe a broody hen is the answer!
