I'm so happy that all 8 of my eggs hatched. Was anticipating 50-80 % with my broody hen based off what I had read and I guess I got lucky. I had stored the eggs the wrong way (pointed side up) and I only realised that afterwards but they were all less than 6 days old - so fresh. Also I had added 1 egg two days late, and it hatched early (end of 20th day) . One egg broke last week but I think it was by accident and it had a developing chick. So nonetheless that egg would have hatched had that not occurred.
