Two days ago she happily allowed me to pick her off the nest and place her next to the food and water. Now it's like playing chicken on the Silverstone race track with a Ferrari F1 racing car. She pecks at anything that moves especially my hands and fingers. She is so quick it is impossible to dodge.
I may have to start wearing gloves. :-(
I have read that hens can hear the chicks chirping inside the eggs the day before hatching. To encourage the chicks to hatch they call back to them. I think I heard Treacle doing this today as I filled the food and water containers. Fingers crossed these little Wyandotte chicks will hatch soon.
I will post another update tomorrow, hopefully with good news!
Thanks for reading.
