Colorful_Goat_Mama and Poka_Doodle's hatching thread

Awesome! I see you have an egg candler - I've been wanting one, but I don't hatch enough to really need it. My broody hens do most of the work.....(I have three right now, and used to have two other ones but they quit).....

Yeah I got the candler after I started moving my egg selling business to ten people because we accidentally gave a customer a young pullets egg that had blood spots. He sadly never brought eggs from us again.

Once we accidentally gave our neighbor (she's a customer) two rotten eggs, but since we are good friends she still buys from us, although now we are a lot more careful about making sure our eggs are not rotten or growing chicks in them (one time my Mom cracked open an egg with a fairly large chick inside - we are now careful about that too).

Oh lol. We write the date we collected the egg on our eggs.

I did use my phone for a while but with my olive egger hen I needed a stronger light and on the candler it's so bright that it can blind you!

The ones we gave our neighbors were from a nest we found in the woods, so we didn't know how old they were. I thought we put them in water to see if they were rotten or not, but maybe we didn't.

Well, it's almost time for lockdown here. The eggs should hatch starting Thursday. The only unfortunate thing is that I'll be in Texas while they hatch.
On a side note there was a Murdoch's sale a week ago and we got 4 babies

 

[Poka_Doodle]

The eggs should hatch any time now!!!
