EEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!! So my new egg candler FINALLY came in the mail today, and it is awesome!!!!!! I recandled all the eggs in the bators and out of 62 eggs set 9 were not fertile and 5 quit early. Which means I should get 48 chicks!!!!!!
This was an amazing way to end the day. I thought my ignorance killed 26 eggs but it turns out the little boogers are more resilient than I gave them credit. 11 days to go!!!
Hurray! That is wonderful news. Be sure to post pics of the little fluffies when they get here!
Here's a pic of my current situation, upper and lower left are just laying, both on the right side are sitting on eggs and then the two on the floor are on eggs as well. The one closest to me with her back to me has only been sitting since Friday. So, here's the issue-when others come in to lay they have to almost step on her to get up into the box and she gets all fluffy (it's kinda funny LOL) but doesn't peck or seem to get overly upset, even when I have to collect the eggs she doesn't seem to mind me, no puffing up etc. But I'm wondering if I need to move her and how do I go about doing that? Or do we just need another set of boxes? DH is working on getting that done because we need them regardless. I'm concerned when the two on the right of the nesting boxes hatch their babies that fluffy mama on the floor is going to get trampled, or the eggs etc. but maybe there's enough room? What's the best thing to do?
