I lost another egg today :( the power cut must have weakened the peep inside and then it died soon after.
I now only have two left, fingers crossed everything will be ok with them....and that they arn't both cockerels!
After candling the eggs I noticed that one was looking more 'watery' inside (not dark and full of healthy blood vessels like the other two). And after a day of waiting to make sure it wasnt still alive, I decided to remove the egg so it didn't infect the other two.
When I opened the egg it was clear that the peep had died and that the embryo was beginning to break down into a mush *_*
It's really upsetting when the chicks fail to develop after all the effort I have put into turning them and keeping them safe :(

This blogg will document my first attempt at hatching chickens with an incubator. Hopefully my experiences will help others who are considering hatching their own chicks.
