    One of the eggs under brooding in busted completely, and got the others wet. My question is are the eggs OK or has the bloom been disturbed? Also, one of them has cracked. Should I discard that now or wait to see what happens? Thanks for the advice. P.s. This is our first time hatching eggs.

    We purchased a couple of older chicks at our flea market in the late summer last year. One turned out to be a rooster and a good one at that. He does a great job at keeping our ladies safe. If he hears or sees anything that may be dangerous he sounds the alarm and everyone goes into the hen...
