Oh I am so sorry. I have had 100% fertility but these eggs were gathered during the brief periods between broody episodes with Lukka. I hope your one chick makes it and as they are available I'll make sure you have a few more to try. It won't be until Lukka starts laying again or my oldest pullets start laying which should be sometime in August.

I too am trying to incubate the two eggs she abandoned when changing nests. They were clear when I put them in but now are veining. I think she moved around so much from nest to nest that they never really started developing until I put them in the incubator.

Good luck!

Mary
