One of our chickens, babs, (photo below) has decided she wants to have some little chicks.
We've got 6 fertile duck eggs from a farm, and put them in her nest box, shes sitting on them now.
They normally take 28 days to hatch, I will resolve this with the number that have hatched out by 24th September, with a photo for proof.
1,000Hello all. Thanks for all taking part in this. It was fun seeing the bets come in.
Unfortunately, Babs got sick while she was sitting on the eggs, so we had to take her away from them.
For this reason i have resolved it as n/a.
In case you're interested, when we candled the eggs, we found 4 of them had ducklings growing! But we weren't able to incubate them for the full amount of time :(
Sorry that out didn't work out this time.
@JohnKnox I've decided against it since it's so close to the hatching date. It would add unnecessary volatility and could potentially penalise people who don't see the new information quickly.
