Day Seven

An eventful day as far as waiting goes. The egg that was cracked and sealed was leaking and smelled bad. After candleing it and seeing that it was different from the others, I decided to remove it from the nest. The photo shows the embryo. I am guessing that it died on day five, which was the day that it cracked.
It is good to know that it had started developing, becuase it means there is a chance for the others, but we are sad to have lost one. I hope to goodness it will be the only one. Six chicks is a good number (providing they are not all cockerels).
