August 11, 200816 yr Yes Kaz as you say lots can go wrong between laying & hatching, mostly I wait & once they have something like 5 hatched, I will either take some of the older ones away or the youngest ones depending of what batches I have to foster to.

August 19, 200816 yr Author Another chick today makes three. The hen has hatched a chick a day for the past three days. All chicks well and fed and active
