Removing unhatched eggs
« on: April 27, 2011, 19:46 »
This is now day 25 for my broody bantam, Bianca.  She has so far hatched out one chick (on Easter Monday) which is healthy and lively.

I really feel I should be thinking about removing the unhatched eggs now.  My idea is to remove them when I open the pophole tomorrow.

What do people think?

Is Bianca coming out with her new chick? If she seems willing to the eggs are probably duds.

She still seems to be sitting tight.  She goes out once or twice a day and the other eggs are still warm to the touch.

leave the other eggs then she may still be able to feel the chicks moving inside the shells  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.
