AHHHH! :eek:

I was going to go have a nap, but I turned my eggs first and a chunk of shell fell off one of them! I was confused and alarmed until I noticed the date on it, it's one of those that should have been in lockdown.

Now I'm watching it like a hawk!
I was going to ask about this! How many of the eggs are still going?
 
From the batch in lockdown, I (now) have 14 that look at term, out of 30. 6 are to the side as most probably quitters.

Still a bunch in the other incubator, due next week. I *think* I had 68 total? So, 68 minus 20 is... 48 left!

Then I have 11 OEGB eggs waiting to be put in, as well as a few from my own hens. LOL!
 
Y'all
This whole time I was envious of everyone hatching eggs and spring and all that :hit
Had no idea I had a nest of eggs hatching, no of course not poultry eggs. But I just looked in my snail tank and saw:

I missed a clutch of eggs :he
I'm just kicking myself because I've been WAITING for them to breed again, since most of my snails died off. And apparently they've been breeding and hiding their eggs from me :rolleyes:
I'm happy, because my remaining three snails are great quality and unrelated. Oldest is 3, Shoshi, she's very high quality from a breeder. My other is Kevin, cheap, not good quality, was a rescue. But he's very healthy and hardy. And my third is young, only just matured and great quality, Daisy. I'm hoppppping that the babies are from Shoshi and Daisy. I did see them being playful but I can't say for sure.
I got as many babies as I could but I can't dig down to where they're hatching without crushing them, so I'll wait.

The plan is to grow them out, keep the healthy favourites. Sell any extras, and feed the runts to the ducks
