The blonde chick is Heart, the Grey one is Wishbone.

Such a bummer about Penny.

I'll still root for the rest of them!

Yay!!! Wishbone made it!!!

It looks like day 21 will be the hatch day, Wishbone is early. But we have a few working on it.

I did have to pull Penny though quit- full of fluid.

I’m sorry about Penny. It’s always a bummer to lose an egg.

Well she did not explode, so that was good.

That’s a good point. I’m letting my Serama hatch eggs for the first time, and one of the eggs she’s setting on has a depression in it. I’m keeping an eye on that egg because it is developing, but I hope it doesn’t crack open… Hopefully I get your luck!

Come on Swannnnnn! Congrats to the eggs that have already hatched and so sorry for the ones that have quit.

I would take away any eggs with a dent, she will open it up herself, and then wreck or eat the other eggs. If you nailpolish the egg, and incubate, it may still hatch.

Good to know. I don’t have an incubator, so that’s why I’ve been trying to give the egg every chance I can with the hen. Do you think there’s any way that I can “repair” the egg without worrying my hen about it? Perhaps a Band-Aid to prevent a scent?
