This is a little graphic but I'm really hoping the more experienced hatchers can tell me what may have gone wrong. This was my first attempt to hatch.
This was a welsummer egg originally set 3 but 2 broke) I bought on eggbid & put under my determined broody buff orp.
Candling was difficult because the egg was so dark, but I thought all along it looked good.
Day 21 was Wednesday, my broody never left the nest unless I took her off, and she'd only drink a little, eat a little sometimes take a turbo dust bath & get right back. I don't think there was one day she was off the nest for more than 15 minutes. The last few days under advice from someone here I stopped taking her off.
So anyway, I'm heartbroken mostly because I think my girl really would have been a great Mommy and here are the pics, please if you can tell me what may have gone wrong. To my inexperienced eye it looks like a chick that should have hatched on day 21
