I set eggs undermy 2 broody hens (bantams, their own eggs) on day 5 of incubation. When I set them all 8 had veins. Mamas took them just fine. One disappeared, and i went to check on them yesterday (hatch day)...most looked off (shadowy) and I didnlt see any PIPs or hear peeping or pecking so I float tested. Only 1 of 7 showed signs of life.
