Hi allikat.
They have not been hard incubatng.There have been several times that they have not been on the eggs for over 2 hours at a time. this is normal.
She will probably lay3 to 4 eggs this year.
since it is cool here at night they have to keep the eggs at at least 4 degrees celsius.
TPC said that they go into harder incubating the egg before the last to be laid ,usually.
So as Liz said ,no question is a stupid question.
I have just learned a lot of this over the years of watching and from A lady called Froona.
A question not asked is one not answered :-*
Liz:
No question is stupid. :)
I believe the hard (serious) incubating starts at 3 eggs. But they do sit on the eggs to keep them warm/dry when the air is cold/wet/wind etc weather related. Plus, just to keep them warm-ish in the slow cooker/pot crock before all the sibs show up! ;D
allikat:
I'm surprised they are incubating already...are there more than two eggs? Or is this normal? I'm sorry if this seems like a really stupid question/comment. Just thought that they start incubating after a full clutch is laid.

I will answer this is how to thread in a bit.
Radisson is incubating right now. head tucked into back
bccs:
Thanks for the s/s Bev. Where did you learn how to do that?
