Caught out

Got caught out today, had she’ll on the floor hatched after 17 days. Laid quick hatched quick.

was it off yearling hen?

No s 2 year old Barbie.
She’s a hen that always pairs up in the hen section, she’s always laying in there.

I see your thinking Daz, an inexperienced hen on her first nest may have sat the first egg too tight.

May just pay to keep en eye on the young in the nest I suggest Boosey as at times a difference of 2 days between hatching can lead to one being left out type of thing in the feeding regime as such to it's detriment I'm unfortunately.

Funny things eggs.

Just read where a lad incubated a duck egg from the supermarket and hatched a duckling.

When a lad I hatched Polish eggs and got pom pom headed bantams of various colors.

The eggs were stamped as Polish and supposed to be infertile, how long they had been laid is any ones guess.

Sort of throws some of those theories out the door etc Misty I suggest we hear at times with pigeon eggs as an example I suspect when such things as mentioned occur at times I suspect.
