Egg Update

I finally cracked open the incubator eggs today.  They were four or five days overdue for hatching, so I figured either they weren't developing or they were dead.  I was right on both counts.  Three didn't develop and three were developed chicks, but dead.  I don't know why they didn't hatch.

And things aren't looking good for sitting hen.  I checked her eggs today.  They smell, but I don't know if it's because they had a rotten egg break on them and stink them up a few days ago or if they're rotten themselves.  I guess I'll just have to wait and see what the hen does with them.  She's still diligently sitting, but I feel so sorry for her.  She's spending all this time alone and it looks like she'll have nothing to show for it.
