Candled last night. It was only day 5 on most but I had a stinker.
Acutally I found several cracked eggs & it was odd that I had not noticed they were so bad when I set them.
They were from my own too, making it extra weird.
Anyway, found a bunch of clears. (My new Trio is not settled in yet apparently, Roo not doing job since arrival, although did prior as the _oldest_ 2 eggs are developing & on of those was layed on the drive to here - glad I set it, thought it was almost silly to do so at the time, but now I'm really glad b/c I know they CAN make fertile eggs, they just aren't at home here enough yet...)
I also had 2 obvious blood rings I removed, so all total I tossed 16 eggs, but I still have 68 set in 4 batches across both LGs.
First hatch date being 3/9.
I'm feeling a little impatient, but I need finish building the new Guinea pen started this wkend, & also 1-2 new brooders b/f 3/9 so I shouldn't try to rush things as I have plenty to do.
So who on this threat is UP NEXT on a hatching???
& keep the chick pics coming they are great, that last broody hen set was excellent, esp the last shot of them peeking out of her tail feathers like you can't see us back here ;>
