Hi,
We have our first broody hen and are very excited. We just moved her into a new, protected brooder box that is on the ground tonight. We also candled the eggs, which are 5 days old.
We didn't see anything with 7 of these eggs. We could not see through our EE egg (green - too dark?).
My question is - we used a small LED flashlight. Is it possible that it was not strong enough? It looked like NOTHING was there - not even a unfertle yolk.
Could she be sitting on 8 unfertilized eggs?
We have 8 hens and 1 roo - should be a good set up for fertile eggs, right? He sure is working on that!
