UPDATE: Broody #4 has successfully hatched 4 of 7 eggs!
Of the 3 that didn't hatch, 1 was a dud (no development at all), 1 was fully developed but did not pip, the other pipped yesterday but somehow managed to get wedged into an empty shell over night and then suffocated.
Broody #5 was on day 15 and appears to have abandoned them today. Shes been off the eggs and roaming the yard all day. SMH I knew better and should have moved her to a brooder, but she went broody while we were on vacation and hoped she would stick it out in the main coop.
