UK Newbie - wish I had more land…

[TempletonPeck]

Hello! Not new to chickens, but new to incubating eggs. 10 Orpington eggs in the Brinsea, and I’m trying to resist the urge to candle them every day. 4 blue Orpingtons are day 6, and buff are day 4. Of the blue, I think one is empty, one has a suspicious red ring (I’ll give it a few more days) and two look promising. Already sourced a home for accidental cockerels!

Welcome to BYC!

Your first egg is good and they second one is suspicious. As you said, leave it in for a few more days. Best of luck with your hatch!

Thank you! Embarrassingly newbie question coming up… if my current hatch fails, is that it for the year? Or can I try again? Is incubating a once-a-year thing?
