a hole was recently made into the air sac of one of our fertilized chicken eggs. it's about 1-18 days in. the membrane separating the air sac to the chick is still intact but I was wondering if the membrane would dry out and kill the chick. will it be okay?
So we were going to see if any of our hens would lay on their eggs if we left them in there (we have a rooster). We had one broody hen who started laying on them about 2 1/2 to 2 2/3 week ago. I candled the eggs today to check their development. They were fine and well developed. Later that day...
