Sorry, hit Reply too soon. I meant to add, unless she (Blanche) could be a rose combed variety of white leghorn, which are much less common. Pretty chicks!
Thanks for the welcome and the fast replies! When I looked at the egg in question, it looks quite clear to me. I even went into a closet to get a really good look and just don't see anything, not even a shadow. The whole egg seems to light up but the speckles are so thick in some spots it makes...
The big day finally came and my Happy Cackle box arrived this morning! It's similar to the more popular Hatchery Surprise, only smaller, and guarantees a pair of ducks, a pair of geese, 2 turkeys, 10 assorted laying pullet chicks, 1 laying breed male chick, and 10 assorted rare breed chicks...
Hi all! This is my first time hatching eggs and I've read the horror stories of rotten eggs exploding in the incubator. My question is, would the same thing happen under a broody hen? If so, how long does a bad egg need to sit under her before it leaks/risks exploding?
I ask because it's day 6...
