My hatch was supposed to be 12 eggs, I hatched 9 out of the 12.
3 fresh laid: 3 hatched
3 refrigerated for three day: 2 hatched
3 were collected 3-4 days before: 2 hatched
3 were washed the day before: 2 hatched
Of those, the fresh hatched a day early, the refrigerated hatched a day late.
I will set 12 chicken eggs on the 13th. 3 will be cold storage for 3 days, 3 will be storage at ambient outdoor North Carolina Spring temp for 3 days, 3 will be fresh from the nest 3 will be washed but fresh from the nest.
I have used my eggs after worming for hatching. I fill the incubator up and they all hatch out fine. I have never had sick or deformed chickens from hatching while deworming.
