Title: I candled my eggs
Post by: LizStreithorst on October 21, 2017, 08:09:54 PM
I have a broody hen setting.  I've been wanting to candle my eggs but I didn't buy a small LED flash light until today, and I don't really know what I'm doing.  I can tell after checking all 7 eggs, I can tell that there is something going on inside them.  They didn't look like eggs that aren't developing chicks. 

I want my number one mama to hatch out babies in the worst way.

They're not even half way to being ready to hatch yet.  I have a long time to look forward to the great event.  I'll cross the road about what to do with a bunch of shitting chicks in the fish room when the time arrives.

That's not a bad idea.  Mug, you are a solver of problems.  It's worth a try for the first couple of weeks.   Mama hen might or might not peck a hole in the inflatable sides.
