The eggs laid are all pretty big so hopefully I will not have a problem. Only time will tell. Last year I had ten hatch naturally with no problems.Alyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02566354793628579010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456868355951876303.post-19665146277364031342015-07-12T01:13:22.118-07:002015-07-12T01:13:22.118-07:00it must be really lovely having all those animals ...it must be really lovely having all those animals (leaving aside the possibility of fox attacks). We'd love to, but as you know have decided not to have any animals/birds, pets or otherwise, we don't really want the commitment. We just want to focus on doing up the house, getting more storage, creating more veg beds, to be as self sufficient as possible for when OH retires.Soozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762391472811785736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456868355951876303.post-83686092305509116262015-07-12T00:55:26.606-07:002015-07-12T00:55:26.606-07:00Can I just tell you a cautionary tale.

My hens were mainly allsorts that I had bred myself over the years (often hens went away and arrived back with a small brood at foot) and looked rather like yours. I gave a dozen eggs to a friend to hatch in her incubator and none hatched. When they broke the shells each one had a chick inside but the chicks had just got too large for the size of the egg. Justthought I would warn you. Hope you have better luck.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
