We lost our beloved hens (17) to vicious dogs last weekend, but gathered the 11 eggs left in their nest boxes and have been incubating those for 8 days now. We tried to candle them tonight, but couldn't see much or very well. The eggs are brown, but we're still hoping & praying at least some of them are viable & will hatch. If we have to throw these out, it's going to be a very lonely winter for our family. Sad, lonely & missing our beautiful flock! :cry: How many days now til your hatchday??

So much fun to see the wide eyes with so many questions. We will watch for the hatching of the eggs. Thank you so much!

I always wondered how a person would know if the eggs are going to develop into chickens or not. Cool! Good luck with the chickies! Interesting!
