2nd Batch

[Teeschicks]

I'm trying to hatch eggs in an incubator in my classroom. I candled last night after day 10. No sign of life I'm going to start a new batch of eggs tomorrow, from different chickens. What should I do with my old eggs?

Do you have older chickens?

If there is no sign of life, dispose of them.

 

[Teeschicks]

no I don't. I 'm starting a new flock with whatever I can get to hatch.

Ok, I would say that you should give those eggs to an older hen going broody. If you do get new eggs and those don't work out either, then I would suggest getting chicks that already hatched.

Why give non developing eggs to a broody?
