OOOH I couldn't wait to share our news......
We have 2 bronze hens and a royal palm tom that we got as pets early March this year.
They are all from last years hatches and so are maturing very nicely.
We collected 8 eggs from them, the hens are not nest making and just drop their eggs anywhere.
We popped those eggs into an incubator and last night we candled them at day 14, we had been unable to see anything at day 7 due to the very thick shells.
6 out of 8 are viable eggs with large dark area in each one. the other 2 seem to have just been infertile eggs.
Oh I am so excited that our eggs have embryos in them, I even felt one move!
I'll shut up now before I start rambling on haha!
