After 21 days, six chicks hatched from nine eggs. One egg never developed, called a “yolker”. One developed for a week, then stopped, called a “ringer”. The final loss was one that developed the full three weeks, and pipped, cracked the egg and took a breath, but then never was able to hatch. I don’t…

The dark spot is the growing embryo. To be honest, I’m surprised any of them have grown this long. Fingers crossed, they keep going for another couple weeks.

I’ll share more about how I put this together when it isn’t in use. And I’ll tell the story of the eggs next post. For now it is 9 fertile chicken eggs nice and toasty at 100 degrees farenheight.

Our chickens.
