   As you know I have had an incubator now for about three years but I am thinking of selling it. Everyone thing went all right until last year when we discovered eggs buried in the garden. I had about 100 eggs in the incubator at the time and when they were due to hatch out only about 10 of them came out. I put down another clutch and the same thing happened & one day I told the priest about it. He was in a big rage over it & came and blessed the house & the eggs and of the next setting I put down every one of them came out.
