Alright, here's what happend. We got a new dog, who was acting weird around the chickens. While I was at work tonight, the dog jumped over the five foot fence, broke through the top net mesh material and proceeded to slaughter, every one of my hens. Both of my roosters survived, somehow unscathed. Well after cleaning up the mess and making it look somewhat less like a Crime Scene, I found that there were four eggs in the nesting boxes.
I'd like to try and hatch them, so that I can feel like its not all a loss. Both eggs are surely fertilized, and Right now I have them in a box, about 12 inches tall and 4 inches wide, surrounded by cloth and with a incubator light over them. Is there anything else I need to do so hopefully one of them hatches. I've never hatched eggs before, so all the help I can get would be very much appreciated.
