Ok, here's an update. The chicken eggs were not fertile. No I didn't candle them early on or anything, we never had before and never had issues getting chicks, so I didn't think I needed to this time. But, my cousin thought it would be fun to put two duck eggs in the clutch. She wanted to...

We have raised several clutches with our hens. We have to get fertilized eggs from a family member with a rooster, so not 100% on fertility. It's day 24 and I'm curious if cooler template outdoors would cause slower development or later hatch. I know in incubation temp is important, and that...
