This is really just a rant... figured y'all would understand. We were out of town for a week and I had a girl here taking care of our menagerie. Instead of getting eggs everyday I think she collected them twice. Because of that I now have 6 broodies
On top of that, she must have left the eggs in there for at least 3 days b/c there were at least 6 that had started to develop and then died b/c she took them out from under the broodies. I found 1 egg that must have been in there since the beginning of last week b/c the there is a moving chick in there that is way further along than any of the other eggs were. I ended up popping 3 into the incubator despite the fact that I have 39 eggs going into lockdown today. Not quite sure how that's going to work. She took great care of everyone it looks like I just hate that those embryos died.
