On day 3 of trying to hatch an egg in my boobs

[PrincessKiara]

How far are the chicken eggs in now?

Happy Easter to you, too <3

The chicken eggs...the one furthest along is 10ish days

I have an update on the little Booted Bantam hen, Marshmallow, who's eggs I may attempt to boobincubate:
Well, Marshmallow stopped laying for about... two weeks, I think. However, when I was turning to leave the coop, I saw two little bantam eggs in the nestbox on the floor of the coop! She's back to laying! The hens pretty much never lay in the lower nest box -- I guess that the hens prefer the raised one on the perch -- so Marshmallow probably decided to lay her eggs down there, seeing as she's afraid of the big girls.
So, Marshmallow is laying again, it seems. The weather is heating up... church is closed due to quarantine, so I'm home on Sundays... and my little bantam is laying eggs during spring....
I've decided: Operation: Bantie Boobincubation will launch the day Marshmallow lays her next egg. I have a tiny drawstring bag that one of her eggs would fit perfectly inside, and several ankle-high socks that could cushion the egg further... I will gather the supplies together in the morning (as in, when the sun is up where I live) and then patiently wait for the goods to arrive... and then Operation: Bantie Boobincubation will commence!
Please pardon the brief thread hijacking. I now return it back to you, @PrincessKiara (*salutes*).

Happy Easter!! I'm rooting for the baby chickens! So sorry again about the babes.

Sure thing!
... This will be an experience... I trained a little bit last week by putting one of my then-tiny-enough bantams chicks into my bra, to get used to the feeling of something being there.
This is still going to be so weird....
I'll let you guys know when Marshmallow lays her next egg.
For, now, though, I'm signing off for the night (it is stupid late here in Maine). Good night, everybody!

so sorry it didn't work out Princess Kiara; so near yet so far
Better luck with the chicken eggs, especially when it comes to lockdown!

So you don’t think it was a humidity issue?

I don't, no. The air cells didn't shrink too much, and the membranes felt soft and translucent. Which is part of why I'm baffled as to what happened.

One of my 7 week old female quail laid her first egg yesterday. I have no idea if it's fertile or not. She actually had a prolapse that I had to carefully treat before she laid the egg! She's doing great now but, I've stuck her egg in my bra in honor of your lost quail. I'm not sure I'll be able to keep it in for the entire 18 days but, I'm going to use boob heat until. at the very least, I find out if it's fertile!
