Re: Worried about my broody hen
No, sorry. I did another water candle late last night and the two remaining eggs were no longer viable, so the oven incubator got shut down. Actually one of them hadn't even shown signs of life the first time I candled but I put it in the oven with the other three, just in case. I wasn't holding out a lot of hope for it though. I am just so very happy to have two little girl chicks come out of this.
