While a friend of mine was on vacation one of her silkie chickens went broody & was sitting on a clutch of eggs. I told her to candle the eggs & mark the fertile ones & pull the others. When she went to check them she found 36 eggs under her! She was stealing the other silkies eggs for her own. I took 12 eggs from her to put in my incubator. I candled them before I put them in my incubator & some are farther along then others. How do I hatch eggs at different developmental stages. They appear to be a 5 day spread between the furthest along in development & the least developed one. It is hard to tell exactly, but just wanted some advice on how to incubate these little babes! Thanks!
