    The last egg I have was still going this morning. However it’s from an older hen and shell is very weak. It’s behind by a day. The other 7 hatched.

    Mine don’t like the boxes either. They prefer the granite rocks even if it’s raining.

    That’s what chicken math is all about :lau While we have a few fox here it’s the coyotes I have to worry about. That and raccoon. I’d really like to free range but that’s not possible

    Good choice. She should lay well for you. I had one Australorp she loved to go broody. Never did have a rooster with them though.

    It’s really helped with the trampling. Occasionally one gets on top of an egg hatching but hasn’t been a problem. I used to cut holes in the cartons bottom for air flow but found that’s not necessary

    You may want to try lockdown in an egg carton, IF the eggs aren’t too big. Chicken eggs work real well. I’ve never tried ducks, although it did work with a turkey egg.
