Eggs hatching.

My eggs started hatching on Monday. I had 8 hatch Monday, 8 Tuesday, 4 Wednesday and 1 yesterday. The second egg from this pair seems to have disappeared. I thought I had put it under another pair but noticed that they were only sitting a pot egg. So not sure that I didn’t throw it out by mistake. I have 4 left to hatch from the first round. I have 4 pairs down on a second round. I had one pair of infertile eggs that I knew were infertile when I was sorting them out. So apart from these 2 infertile eggs I have had 100% hatch which I am delighted about. I had felt that some of the hens in particular were a bit over weight having been shut in for 4 months.

Not so good then mate, that is a shame. Hopefully the ones you have will turn out well
