I have ZERO pips, alright. . .
I had 4 fertile Blue Wheaten Marans eggs, ready to go, but by the time they hit lockdown my broody girl decided she'd take LONG breaks. That upset me, and even had me wondering if she was at all broody anymore.
Well, turns out this morning I went in the barn, and heard her clucking from the opposite end as where her nest was. Checked her nest, and all the eggs were cold and leaking something wet. I cracked em open, and all of them were dead chicks inside. She abandoned them days ago.
No New Year's hatch/chicks for me. . . .
I could've had 4 beautiful Blue Wheaten Marans chicks. . . .
