Well things havent gone that well I put 6 eggs under my best broody hen Loretta who has always been a great sitter but for some unknown reason this time decides she's lost interest about 10 days along Was not happy! So now all hopes are pinned on Violet who is sitting on the remaining 5 eggs (the 12th egg was cracked on arrival) and is due on Sunday. I havent candled the eggs yet coz Im so worried that I wont see anything so Im just gunna wait until Sunday and hope something hatches.

Good Luck with the remaining eggs. That must have been very disappointing for you. Jen

Possibly Loretta sensed it was pointless sitting any longer, did you check to see if there was anything started in her eggs that she left?

Well I thought today was the day but when I looked at my dates its actually tomorrow lol I picked each egg up today and put it to my ear to see if I could hear anything. Couldnt hear anything yet but am sure I felt movement in two of the eggs. So I've got my fingers and toes crossed that at least a couple will hatch tomorrow . Will update tomorrow
