Well Miss Sweetpea took to a nest box and decided she was going to make babies .....
I dont know what I was drinking ... errr thinking I didnt mark the darn eggs.
Now she has 4 babies, that took about 3.5 days to hatch from first to last, she is now fed up with waiting and has left the nest.
I grabbed the 9 remaining eggs and did a float test - I had 2 rocking-and-a-rolling and one just bearly moving.
My problem is I dont have a clue where in the baking process these eggs are. I tried candling but they are very dence and I could only see a large air sac.
I have made up a makeshift incubator and I have it at 37.5C humidity is around 80%. Now the big question as I have never incubated before but have read eggs get turned 3x a day and then after day 18 they stand firm .... I dont have a clue where these eggs re at - what my best option on this ... ?
