well ms black ancona managed to do the deed and sit all the way through to the end. YAY two of teh chicks were VERY hot, and i gave them water to see if i could save them the sad news is that all three of the chicks that hatched have died becuase it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO hot today two more have started to hatch this evening, so hopefully they will survive.

Thats is sad Jacquie. Could you put a fan on near the new chicks hatching? I spent yesterday doing the water run At least this gives you the chance to make a strategy plan for the next time you have chicks hatchings when the weather is stinling hot. Good luck with the new ones hatching. Cheers Linda

they should bring back the birch or cat and 9 tails sound gruesome but it would only take one and I feel it would stop failing that bring back national service Trev
