eggs cold

    19 day old egg, no movement with candling??

    Hi all, At the moment I have 2 fertile frizzle eggs under one of my broody Silkie hens... today is day 19 and one of the eggs has started chirping. I know that at this stage I probably shouldn’t be candling the eggs, but this afternoon as I let the broody hen off of her nest to go to the toilet...

    Hen got trapped away from nest (possibly all night) at 18 days...eggs went cold...are they dead?

    So, we are new this whole thing, but I had a australorp go broody on me so we decided to give her a couple fertile bantom eggs to hatch. All has gone very well to this point. We have her separated and she is a devoted mom. She only leaves the nest once a day to peck around the yard, get a drink...
