Is the inside of the shell covered with blood vessels or is it clean? I hope the others hatch OK for you.

Your broody may abandon them anyway if she thinks they won't hatch.

I'm waiting for my eggs to hatch. Never had a broody hen before but I'm hoping it's not a wasted effort on her behalf.

Emily got off the nest today, i opened the other two eggs, one was formed but tiny and the other was just a rotten egg! The new baby is doing well, and is ooooo sooo cute. Emily is so far a very good mum! Back to top CP Moderator Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 15000 Location: Hampshire Posted: Sat Jun 28, 2008 2:51 am    Post subject: Aww, lovely. When can we see the pics?
