Finished day ten candling.. 37 eggs going strong, removed a couple that we questionable and are now confirmed quitters.... personally I think starting with 56 was to much, there were some I know were fertile that were non starters and I wonder if they were to far away from the heat, ( I have a still air).... amazingly and hopefully I am not jinxing it) all the EE eggs are going strong... I think their are 17 of those.....
set 12 under the new broody this evening, 9 of those are EE eggs
I feel like an idiot..
I quit using my turner because I didn't feel it was turning the eggs correctly or gently, the last two hatches I have done without it I got great hatch rates, so I opt for hand turning... Dropped an egg early on and broke it...Have been really careful since... Woke up at 4:30 am and decided to go ahead and turn the eggs, halfway thru I dropped one of the EE eggs onto another EE egg!!!!
