Well did some candling. Out of the 15 eggs that were set, I ended up with only three that are viable. The rest I guess didnt get fertlized. No blood ring , spots or nothing, the other three are from an older hen, the others were all from new layers.
I set 42 eggs last Sunday. I was thinking that if I raise the pullets over the winter, I will have a nice flock of spring hens. Two days later one of my hens went broody with 7 eggs. Free rooster chicks, anyone?
