    April 2020 Hatch-A-Long! All are welcome!

    I am late to the original post but had to share! I incubated 15 eggs and hatched 13 yesterday! One of the original showed no development at 2nd candling and the other didn’t make it out of the shell. Seems it rolled toward the water under the grate and couldn’t get air.
