Hello!
I have a young broody hen that has been trying to hatch eggs with no luck. The first time she tried, she only had one chick hatch but it didn't make it, the 1st night.. This time, she down to 3 eggs. Two are definitely fertile, I even I saw movement in them, on day 10. One of the fertile eggs is an olive egg, like this one(same hen) and definitely looks different. I'm assuming this one here is a quitter, has a detached air cell or is just bad? It doesn't smell rotten but, the air cell moves around a little. I tried to add a video but it wouldn't allow me to attach. Any help is greatly appreciated!! I just want her to have a successful hatch, even if only the two. Tomorrow will be day 14 and I plan to candle all 3, for the final time. Will this one be a tosser?
