Dont you worry. I just also tried to hatch an egg from my friend that I stole when I was at her house. We put it under a broody hen when it went into lockdown and it hatched then died. She was still broody and we went to the feed store for feed. Its lucky all they had were barred rocks.

3 of my chicken were killed by gnats. 2 that I hatched earlier this year that were 2 months old and 1 year old broody hen. Meaning I have more space. A whole coop to be exact. So next year Im going to order 6 more Bantam eggs from her and she said she would throw in more with my next order. Then...

Yep! No babies. When I opened them up I found that the oldest ones were probably 5 days old. They were small, about the size of a dime. They had wing nubs and beginning of feet. They had a mouth hole. And one had clear blue pigmented eyes. Oh! And the back of the head was not formed. Some were...

The eggs go into lockdown tonight! I apologize for nit updating with candling. All embryos are small with no movement. I expect a 0% hatch rate. 😥

Still needing an answer on this one. Day 10 candling wasnt great. I'll post the exact results tommorow, but there was no movement. Some embryos looked good. But some, like egg 1, were not visible anymore. Soldier egg looked good!

I got an egg from a friend when I was over at her house today. Day 6 on the first eggs and say 0 on this one. Do you think if I put any eggs that hatch under a broody, then in a week when this one hatches I put it under the broody at night with one week olds she would accept it?

The eggs do not get a number until I see development. That way I do not have eggs 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8. I have eggs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Day 5: Egg 1: Veins Egg 2: Veins Egg 3: Veins Egg 4: Veins Egg 5: Veins 2 other eggs - nothing

Day 3: Egg 1: visible vein All other eggs - nothing

Day 1: No changes

I set them today! Styrafoam carton with holes in the bottom and small holes on the sides for ventilation. If any hatch I have a broody hen to put day old chicks under.

I will FINALLY be able to set the eggs tommorow!

She has offered to replace the eggs and said they usually ship pointy side down. I think I will have to wait until Monday to put them in because I have chicks hatching in there now. I will put them in in an egg carton and do gentle rotation by hand. If some develop and hatch I will put them...

So good news. She sent 8 eggs. More bad news. One is cracked and ALL of them have detached aircells. Most of them are stage 3. Like floating around the egg. One tore the membrane and I can see a little piece of it floating around. Only a few have air cells still attached, even those are jiggly...

I broke down and bought eggs on ebay from Blue Ribbons Farm. They have decent looking birds and I paid $24 for 6+ eggs. All are pure bantam, but assorted. Basically leftovers. I have a broody hen that I am going to use. She has a separate space in the coop where she can see other chickens, and I...
