We had both of welshies sitting on nests for the past month.
Between the flooding and stuff, most of the eggs didn't make it.
Our gold phase girl hatched two, and our silver phase hatched 1.
Something happened to the silver phase's duckling (we honestly don't know what) and she had been...
Nothing came from the eggs I put in the incubator.
I only put a couple from the hen in question (incubator space is too valuable this time of year) so it wasn't the best sampling, but nothing so much as a blood ring or speck developed any further.
She is pooping fine.

I babied her for a day and gave her food and electrolytes and she was up moving around and being herself again.

Just to keep my hand off the incubator so that the hatch rate is good too
Internal pip on one of my welsh harlequin eggs! Only the beginning of day 26.
Increasing humidity and not touching the incubator again.
Oh how hard it is not to open it!

I noticed the bullseye pattern in the eggs of one of my hens, which would indicate that it had been fertilized.
I only have three chickens, each with a distinctive egg color, and live in the city, so there are no roosters and never have been.
(Unless magic...
OOOOH! A giveaway!
That intense color collection is pretty stunning. I always want my egg basket to have that wealth of color.
We only have three chickens right now, not nearly enough of the chicken egg rainbow!
