Awesome! I see you have an egg candler - I've been wanting one, but I don't hatch enough to really need it. ;) My broody hens do most of the work.....(I have three right now, and used to have two other ones but they quit).....

Yeah I got the candler after I started moving my egg selling business to ten people because we accidentally gave a customer a young pullets egg that had blood spots. He sadly never brought eggs from us again.

Once we accidentally gave our neighbor (she's a customer) two rotten eggs, but since we are good friends she still buys from us, although now we are a lot more careful about making sure our eggs are not rotten or growing chicks in them (one time my Mom cracked open an egg with a fairly large chick inside - we are now careful about that too). ;)

Oh lol. We write the date we collected the egg on our eggs.

The ones we gave our neighbors were from a nest we found in the woods, so we didn't know how old they were. I thought we put them in water to see if they were rotten or not, but maybe we didn't. :idunno

Well, it's almost time for lockdown here. The eggs should hatch starting Thursday. The only unfortunate thing is that I'll be in Texas while they hatch.
On a side note there was a Murdoch's sale a week ago and we got 4 babies
