Well it's day 7 and I think Miss Ellie the broody is totally failing. Although she has sat diligently on her eggs, it appears that she is not turning them and they are all growing on one side of the egg. I took the viable ones from her, hoping they will make it and put them in the incubator. I left her a few that I'm almost positive aren't viable and marked an X on one side so I can check to see if my assumption is correct. Has anyone ever had this happen? Suggestions? Here are two photos of the same egg:

that's normal it's because they are laying flat on there side and not straight up
 
Fifteen chicken eggs in bator on day 13 so 8 days left.9 eggs under broody muscovy on day 21 so two weeks left.

Most people leave broody eggs alone, so I'm not sure how many people can tell you what they looked like. I know that I have never even tried to interrupt a broody's natural instinct. To me, it's like telling God He doesn't know what He is doing.

I have had the opportunity to experience some significant grief in my life, and this is something I learned, and a way I learned to think about it and understand it that helped me a lot.

Grief is like a gravitational body that you are in an elliptical orbit around. At first, you are orbiting it so tightly and quickly that you are close to the pain almost constantly, and it seems that you can't escape. But as time passes, the orbit gets larger like a spiral, little bit by little bit, and the times in between the pain get longer, and longer, and longer. It gets better. But the important thing is that with a significant loss, you are never over it - you are always in an orbit around it, and you just get longer and longer periods between the times that you are "close" to it. And with experience over time, you are able to approach these times of "closeness" with a certain degree of reflection, and potentially further personal growth.

I still am surprised at times, almost stunned, at how painful it can be to recall my own personal loss, and it was over 20 years ago. But the point, and the reason I'm saying all this, is that one is never "over it", and even if one is advised to "move on", it will always be with you, and will "move on" with you. The important thing to realize is that that isn't some sort of personal failure not to have "gotten over" something that was tragic and filled with grief for you. You incorporate it into your life, and continue as best you can - as a changed person.

Thank you. I do think that my issue is more that I feel bad for the children. I have buried three fiancé's and lost five children. I have also lost my father and a brother.
:hugs Although I'd love to hear the easy explanation for me :lau

The only explanation available for you, is that you live by the outlets and your daughter is the same age as Duckling. I leave out the part that you are insane. :lau
