So Sunday was day 31, and I was like.... yeah they’re done. So I took them out one by one to find out why they didn’t hatch. The first three stopped developing and died a while ago. One from my olive egger attempted to hatch, but that shell was hard as heck to crack, even for me, and it died...
I had a broody sitting on 8 eggs. Wednesday, I saw a crack in one of the shells and the egg was moving all over. When I got home from work, expecting a chick, I saw nothing!!!! No chick, no shell, nothing! I’m not sure, but I believe it’s one of my buff’s. Anyway, yesterday, I came home and mama...
I’m kind of in the same boat... not really. I had a hen sitting on 8 eggs. Yesterday one started to pip and I was so excited! The egg was moving all over! Got home froM work, no chick, and no shell... all gone! So today I checked this am but couldn’t tell much cause mama was sitting on the eggs...
Man! I already have a cockerel! I’ve had this guy since he was 6 weeks old. He’s about 10 weeks now and much bigger than the other I got out of the same hatch. Guess I’ll just have to get more chickens!
