A Cornish Cross (Breeding?) Journey

[Morrigan]

I hope the hatch goes well for you. Broody hens are the best. Very curious to see what you get.

Day 10-12 now and there are two nice looking Chunky eggs and the OE egg in which I cannot see through. Cracked open the 5 duds and sure enough zero development and the one was indeed a double yolk. These duds looked like scrambled eggs which I found odd. I’ve incubated infertile eggs for the whole 21 days and they were still intact with only a more watery egg white and flatter yolk. I assume it is a result of a less sterile environment.

Lots of causes
I have it from stress I believe... whenever there's raccoon prints on the coop, along with stopping laying for a week.

In the spring I was hatching at a 95% success rate with most eggs being fertile.
Ever since it turned hot, about half of the chicken eggs have been fertile, but nearly all of my quail eggs are fertile?
