Don’t count your chickens before they hatch...

[Caroline0615]

I know you aren’t suppose to count your chickens before they hatch but I was wondering if my egg survival rate is okay??? We started out with 21-20 eggs.. dad accidentally cracked 3. 4-5 eggs were infertile and 3 eggs died. I now have 9 eggs that have babies moving in them! Would you consider this a good thing? Having only 3 eggs die? One of the eggs have twins in it which may have caused it to die!

Of course it is good. You can not count infertile eggs as a failure. Also tell dad not to have butter fingers....
You know I really meant these.

The twins usually do not make it,,, was it an extra large double yolker egg???

No the one with twins was a small egg from my 8 year old hen!
