That's awesome! I hope so too. :fl If any hatch, I might get one. :/ I can't really candle the eggs either, because they are really dark and we don't have any suitable candling flashlight. :(
Aw that's too bad. Thankfully we got a flashlight at Walmart and it works perfectly!

One of our eggs is hatching!

Thanks! The other one hatched successfully! I'm very tired though because Sarah and the new chick had to have help hatching. The membrane dried so it made it hard for them to hatch. It was very stressful because it's my first time hatching and I had to help 2 out of 3. Sarah only needed a bit of help but the newest one I had to help it the whole way. It's alive and well! And I know it is best to leave the eggs alone but this was my choice and there was no other way.

Well, I'm down 5 chickens. A predator got into the coop. I don't know what in the world happened to the 5th though.

Yesterday I found a 4 to 5 foot snake in the coop. (Looked like a black snake)
I'm sorry for the quick post, but I have something to do and my phone is freezing. :( Well, gotta go!
