THEY ARE JUST PRACTICING

The eggs are due to hatch next weekend.  I tried not to get too excited because the eggs were infertile the first time.  I was doing good until recently.  I researched another way to candle the eggs so that I could get a better view of just what is going on with these eggs.  Sources say that you can check the eggs by candle method after the sixth day of being laid.  I waited until a week before they are to hatch.  This time I used a flash light in a dark closet.  It is clear that there is no life forming in the eggs, no embryo, no baby chicks.  I returned the eggs to Rebekah for now.  I think that I will have Kiwi checked out for DNA sexing and close off the access to the nest box soon to give Rebekah a rest.
