Few things, warning...newbie at this hatching thing
1. Hen is sitting on 6 eggs, 11 days today. I candled for the first time (because of my crazy busy schedule). Couldn't see anything, and one stunk like sulphur. I tossed it. Is that what you'd have done? I had an egg break/disappear all but shell on day 4. I removed some bedding and made due.
2. It's supposed to be 106 (!!) this NEXT weekend on day 19, 20, 21....what on earth do I do? I work 48 hour stretches and will be lucky to replace water once a day (I have 20 gallons set for 29 birds, and a mister ready to go. But that's outside. What about the hen sitting on eggs?
3. I have GOT to break these other 4 Broodies. It's TOO hot! I have 4 sitting on nothing because I keep taking stuff
