I currently have it on a heating pad on low covered in a blanket. Hens would not lay on any of the eggs but this one looks to have something growing. I never planned to hatch eggs so no incubator.
Hi all. A couple weeks ago my son got sick and had to have emergency kidney surgery which made me have to find someone quick to look after my coop. Well, needless to say our rooster got in with our hens over night & was taken out the next morning. Up until last night none have looked fertilized...
