How sweet. How long usually before we get to see any chicks?

That’s a difficult question to answer. She won’t start brooding the eggs properly until she has finished laying and then it takes about a fortnight to hatch the eggs.

However, t-its have the ability to delay hatching by not sitting on the eggs full time. This is so they can best time hatching for better weather and more caterpillars. So it’s not an exact period! I am pretty sure she laid this morning, so her clutch of eggs isn’t complete yet!

Two to three weeks is a guess, depending on how many eggs are actually there

Hello Yvonne.
How are you today ?
I'm doing ok, thanks. And you? I have lots of "clean up" type work to take care of outside today. My tortoise partner visited this past week-end and he LOVES to cut branches off the trees. So I have to trim off all the little twigs from the larger branches, then cut up the branches for firewood. And the twigs. . . what to do with the twigs? That's the problem. I don't have garbage service and my daughter's green waste barrel us always too full for me to bring my twigs to her house. Anyway, that's what I'll be doing today after I feed and take care of the animals.
