OMG!!! im sooo exited i checked in their box
and there is an egg in it

i was sooo exited that i started dancing

i didnt think they would breed so early because its cold here

is it ok to put a fake egg in with it? or would she stop sitting
on her egg?

Congrats on your first egg.

Just wondering why you would want to put a fake egg in her nest?

Iv heard that some female birds
can sit on thier eggs/chicks too heavly
and sqwash them

Oh ok.

I have never used fake eggs with my hens and I don't know of anyone who does use them.

Maybe there is someone on here that has used them or had that problem.

Good luck with the hatchings and hope there are a few more eggies to your collection.

how long does it take for them to hatch?

Congratulations on your egg!!! Is this your first? They take 21--22days to hatch after the hen lays the last egg.Keep track of when she lays the eggs----an 3 weeks after the last one you should have bubbies.
