Hi All,

I made a video today of one of the Partridge Penedesenca hatching eggs. I am using a Brinsea High Intensity candler and was able to get this:

I love it when they wave at me. I've got two eggs going into lockdown tonight, ten more on Wednesday and last night on day 4, I had good veining on 7 out of the 8 tolbunt polish eggs I set on Sunday.

ETA - Papabrooder, how are your Orp (and Brahma ) eggs doing?

The difference between breakfast and chicks, is the temperature you use to "cook" the eggs!

What breeds do I have? More than any sane person would own.

I sent an email to Megan and told her that I saw chicks dancing in their shells. Day 21 is next Sunday.

Goodnight!

ha, ha, just laughing too because I always get nervous when I candle expensive eggs!!! i have so dropped more than one egg while candling. i dropped one of my first SFH eggs when they were way expensive. i've learned to sit on the ground on carpet when I candle now instead of over the table or tile bathroom counter. ha!

So, I wanted to share my first egg picture, the green one on the left compared to a medium to large egg from one of my other chickens. this was right before I dropped my phone right onto my brand new egg and cracked it wide open onto the counter!!!! Doh! Another example of why i candle legs crossed on carpet!!

Just liked the look of my SFH roo "panting" with his wings.

Ok, i just have to say one more thing. You guys are always such "day" people! I'm usually the only one on here at odd hours of the night when I should be sleeping. Happy early morning to us and may those of you with young kids be blessed with some late morning sleepers!

I used to get more sleep until I started poking around on this site! Did your green egg come from an EE? My SLW started laying this week. 4 tiny little eggs, 4 days in a row, and then today, nada. She was cranky, too. Maybe tomorrow she'll lay The Big One!
