Pex is sitting on her first eggs. Four eggs. I went to check on her because it is her hatch day but she only had one egg under her. I suppose the three eggs were not fertile and she ate them, shell and all. Darn it.
I have another hen, Lacy, that is sitting on 4 eggs, too. She is due to hatch her eggs on the 21st. Hope I have better luck with her. She has already hatched eggs before and cared for her chicks. I am trying to get some more buff colored Silkies so I put some eggs under her from my buff hens that are mated with a buff rooster.
I think the problem is it is so darn hot right now and I haven’t really seen the roosters on the hens very often. Too hot for sex. lol
