Fabulous article. This article is how i found out about BYC. I was searching on google one day a few years ago when this article pulled up.
Truly a wonderful article! Very well written.
Great article! I just started incubating my first batch of eggs and was looking for photos of what it should look like when I candle in a few days! I really appreciate that you showed how to tell egg shell quality!
I have come to this repeatedly! My 1st hen hatched 1 egg (out of 4; she broke 1, 1 was a dud at day 10 & 1 failed somewhere between day 15 & day 22). 2nd broody is on 6 eggs & we candled them tonight, which was day 10. I have had chickens for years but never had a broody hen or incubated eggs.
Im doing my first incubation soon, and this is the exact info I was looking for. I really like the use of edited photos for those of us who really need/want to know better what to look for.
