@2ndTink, I am so sorry to hear about the losses! Losing eggs is always hard. Don't be hard on yourself! I would also like to follow along any Chonkers you attempt to hatch later as well.
The updates with the science are very much appreciated.
Her user on TikTok and YT is @MontgomeryFrizzles. SUPER COOL. Here is her first attempt, "Jar Jar Beaks". Apparently they are others that tried something similar on tiktok, but she's the only one that I saw have a successful "hatch".
This is why I was obsessed with a tiktoker who was doing jar eggs for several months until one finally hatched. It was amazing to see the process without the shell in the way.
We have a lady here who ordered from a hatchery. She wanted 4 chicks and now has... 250?!
250!
She posted in the local FB group trying to rehome and I was very shocked.
