With you starting from eggs your first egg is going to be a massive event!

True Gina, But do you mean, first egg hatched or first egg laid? Either way it will be a big event I guess All the best George Back to top summayah Joined: 14 Apr 2005 Posts: 4289 Location: luton Posted: Fri Apr 22, 2005 1:54 pm    Post subject: what an excellent way to get an in~house flock ~ no outsiders, less risk of something nasty coming in.

I didn't count the first 12 hours. Mine began to hatch on Day20, from my calculations, they were pipping when I got home at 1600hrs. I had put them beneath broody at 1800hrs 21 days before, so I culd have counted from that moment. Maybe a broody gets it more right than an Incubator. Will look forward to see photos, but first to hearing you pacing and looking, pacing and looking and losing sleep Back to top Gina Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 471 Location: Kent Posted: Fri Apr 22, 2005 2:23 pm    Post subject: I meant first egg layed but both will be a big event.... I know from even buying my chickens in at POL and then waiting for that first egg the excitment was second to none!....but if I had had the hens from eggs and hatched and watched them grow well that first egg will be fab!
