a heartwarming tale...it is great to read such a positive experience. We are on day 25 today and have 8 out of 17 eggs successfully hatched. One remaining egg has pipped but about 30 hours ago...no signs today of further action. the other 8 eggs are just sitting there in the incubator...
i am interested to know if you ever found a building plan for a wool hen and/or if you completed and used it. I am awaiting some chicks over the next 2 days and preparing a brooder. if convenient for you, I would really appreciate your input as soon as possible.
Don't worry...most people do not know much about eggs and/or chickens other than how to eat them. if you collect your eggs daily, you don't have to worry about whether or not it is fertilized. Just keep reading BYC and you will soon know all about chickens, eggs, and roosters.
