I have been candling the eggs under my broody every day. One has cracked, (it’s now dead sadly, but I did cover the crack) and now I think one might have a blood ring.. but it might be development. (I think I saw movement in the egg) I have one that’s doing great under my mama hen, and I think it’s on about day 11-13, not sure the others are just now starting to become embryos, and i can see their eyes a little bit, so does anyone know how to handle a staggered hatch? (I can’t take pics while candling to show you the possible blood ring) I have an incubator in my bathroom, I can plug in and start up if needed.
The mama hen is a black australorp x white Plymouth Rock. She is a very large and very fluffy bird. Her mama was/is a very broody hen of ours. This is this mama’s first batch though, so idk what’s gonna happen… Anybody got tips?
