Try, try again

Well, the incubator is on again, with nine eggs this time.

Our last attempt ended in failure. None of the twelve eggs hatched. The six Maran eggs from our friend, Carol, were infertile. Four of our six were fertile but failed to hatch.

At least Henry is doing what we got him for, so the soup pot can be put away for a bit longer.

We think the temperature might have been abit high - the thermometer is really hard to read. However, we think we've sorted it this time.

Watch this space in three weeks or so.
