Wow! I have been out of the loop for a while. I've been doing college stuff, working full time, and being a full time mom. I had to come back because I missed you all and because I have a hatching dilemma. You see, I thought that one of my hens had been taking notes from my ducks and hiding her eggs. It turns out that she had some help from a 10 year old that wanted her broody to hatch some eggs. Well, we encountered a problem when said hen decided not to be broody anymore. I have the eggs in the bator but I can't tell how far along they are. They are ameruacana australorp mix and I can't see through the shell. I'm guessing that they have to be 14-16 days because of the air sac size. I will try to candle and post a pic tomorrow.
