Bertha's Eggs

After I had candled Gertie's eggs I decided to do Bertha's and I am so sorry to say they are also no good!!!!!   I do not know why but Bertha has obviously just expelled this year as well. They were in the same incubator as the Hermanns that all hatched so it was not the incubator. So, after laying so well this year and taking the time to dig a large hole nothing!. I have cried most of this weekend already over Gertrude but as my hubby  said it is not an exact science and these things happen. They do but as this has never happened to me before in all these  years it has hit me very hard. I am sorry to put bad news but  that is life and it has to go with the good times. ...I cannot  bring myself to turn the incubators off yet , I suppose I am hoping for a miracle......
