Hiya all , i set some gold sebright eggs under my broody , and guess what when i candled them last night all 5 were infertile , what a shame as they were due to hatch in about 2 days time , anyway luckly for me and my girl , snowball has came to the rescue and is going to give me some of her eggs that are due in a couple of days , i just cant let my broody sit again for another 21 days it isnt fair . how is everyone elses hatching going , has anyone else got broodys at the mo .

hi ash sebrights are notoriously infertile what a shame and well done for finding something to go under her, you could have palmed the eggs out and swopped them for day olds as well, lets hope snowballs eggs hatch for her. we have two or three broody chucks at the moment but they are refusing to take duck eggs so we are just taking there eggs off them for the minute till i figure out what to do with them. we have two blue fawn calls sitting but the others keep filling the nest so i candled them and took out those nearly hatching as the few they hatched they killed and i will put ducklings under them in a week and stop them altogether duckmad
