Its definitely much bigger than the one on the right.

Cool setup. And congrats on eggs.

Thought I might post an update.

 

So my pair went on to lay 4 eggs in total. Apart from the first one, the others appear normal size and color.

 

Today my first chick arrived. Im so excited! So far its being fed well and appears to be active and in good shape. Im hopeful for at least 2 of the other eggs, pretty sure the first egg is no good. Will wait and see in the next few days.

 

Now that the chicks are here I've added some egg and biscuit to the breeding cage as a soft food option for the feeding parents. I'm still feeding them a variety of fresh veg everyday that include silverbeet, carrot and sweet corn. They also have plain budgie seed and a cuttle bone and a calcium bell.

 

When I get a chance to take some pics I'll put them up.

hey have you candled that first egg it could have 2 chicks inside it lol.

LOL, no I havent candled it, The shell is clear enough to see that theres noting in it even without candling it.

 

I had a second chick hatch today Fingers crossed for the third. Both chicks doing well

crack it see if there is two yoke centers.

Glad your hen settled down to her duties and didn't eat any more eggs. Great that she's turned out to be a good little Mum. Hope no 3 arrives safely.
