We had 6 eggs in the LG. 5 were olive green from the same hen and 1 brown from a different hen. All were fertilized by the same roo. The olive egger is also the daughter of this roo, I was told that should be ok.
The brown egg hatched right on time. The olive eggs didn't. On day 22 we opened the olive eggs. All were fully developed but had obviously quit a couple of days ago. Any idea what may have caused this? One had the yolk almost totally absorbed the others still had a large amount of yolk left.
Thanks for any help.
