Please help!
I had a broody hatch her first clutch she had 15 or 16 eggs
Out of 10 hatches we lost 3... The remaining 7 are doing well
There was one rotten egg that burst and may have been one of the lost babies. After the 3rd baby was lost I removed the remaining 5 eggs rinsed them but didn't scrub and put them in the incubator.
The next morning one of the eggs was weeping and stunk so I removed that one.
I then watched a video on how to float test for viability as we were at day 24/25.
I had 2 with life and 2 that looked like they did but I wasn't 100% so I decided to give it some time.
One of the 2 eggs with obvious movement and even wiggling in the incubator is now weeping even though the chick is obviously still moving around...
What do I do?
