I've been gathering my hens eggs for a few days now and setting them in the incubator. I'm up to four, but I think I'm going to stop there. With all the excitement of incubating eggs,I forgot to collect all of them and incubate at the same time.
So now I must let these hatch and then put the second batch in after. Why? Because I'm afraid since the eggs were laid days apart (she's been laying one every other day) that egg 1 will hatch on its 21st day, but then the chick will have to wait a whole week while each of the other eggs reaches its own 21st day. Make sense? And I don't want to leave my baby chickies in there that long.
Anyways,here's a picture of one of my eggs!
I have a heart and veins!!! Eeeeeeep!!!! Soo happy!!!
