Hi all.
I’m new to incubating eggs (in an incubator). When I hatched eggs 6 years ago I used my broody hen. So this is new!
Wondering what I should be looking for on day 3 to 7?
How do I know if they are infertile or not? We bought the eggs and she estimated a 65% fertility rate (we got 24 eggs). So now I’m just unsure how to check them.
I’ve scrolled the forum but not much I can find.
Should I leave the eggs another day or two before looking? Or should on day 3, there be some idea as to what’s happening?
Thank you !
