Her sister was way hotter

And now we know why 9300 doesn't love you. You NEVER say that about an incubators sister.

Interesting, I always thought chickens eggs had a high percentage hatch rate. so for next years guesses one should aim for 50% plus or minus around 5%.

9300 fried the eggs at day 17
10300 fried them at day 14

Here are my babies and a pic of an egg one of my hens laid. I just had to show it. lol

oh my gosh, now that's gotta hurt!
when I worked on a hen farm in my youth, there was this massive egg laid. I picked it up to go show my boss as it was extraordinarily large, but I dropped it. inside it was a load of egg white and another egg including shell. it was the weirdest egg I had ever seen I all my time there.

I'm just pessimistic...lol. No, I just figured with the amount of people that said they wanted in and didn't tell their set numbers that we'd probably have a lot that gave their set numbers but wouldn't report their hatch numbers. Plus there were a lot of new hatchers. I figured if you halved it it would balance out the ones who had really good hatches with the ones that had bad hatches. I bet if you subtracted the people's numbers that reported the set but not the hatch and did the percentage based on the actual hatch per set that it would be a somewhat decent number.

This one wasn't huge. The egg inside was tiny, but still, it was pretty interesting.

I have yet to get one of these. An egg inside of an egg. Thanks for posting, these are always interesting.

I would say that I can't believe you said that, but somehow, I'm not surprised.

I too have not had an egg within an egg. They are interesting, but it's got to be painful for the hen.
