Definitely hatch more if you can.Went thru all eggs yesterday and I've got 11 eggs from Angel collected.
How many should I shove under her? All 11 or 12 if she lays today and see what hatches?
I could and probably should crack a couple open to check fertility but I'm sure they are, but to be safe. That would give me 9-10 for her.
If I was thinking like @Chooks man would want me to think....
He favored Angel from the start, and seeing that I only hatched 1 egg from her, I think this is my smart move.
I don’t really know why cracking the egg open to check fertility is worth it when hatching your own eggs. If it’s fertile you’ve wasted one and if it isn’t nothing will happen anyway.
If she can fit that many eggs under her, I’d hatch them all. I know they are difficult to candle but you could always give it a go and leave her with only the good ones after a week or so.
