Crowing
I will try not to make this too long. I have a young hen who went broody. I have not hatched eggs before but thought I would her a try. I collected a couple of eggs from my favourite little hen and gave them to my broody. I recieved a few EE eggs from a friend. I thought she was going to give me fresh eggs but when she brought them, they were ones she took from one of her broodies. They were on day 4. Which means there is a 4 day difference between the eggs. However, she collected them the afternoon before she brought them over so they sat on her counter over night. How will that affect their hatch day? I candled them on May 4 which would have been day 10 for the little egg and day 14 for the big eggs. Picture below for an EE. They seem to be developing fine.
So how can I work this out with the two dates? Will the big eggs be delayed? I have 3 big eggs and 1 little egg left. Can I candle again or is it too close to lockdown?
