Thanks!

This is so exciting!

I almost didn't have a chance to have any chicks this year because I'm living in a concrete box 300 miles away from home! But ZooMummzy is making it possible!

I'll be updating this daily if possible. For new hatchers, taking pics daily isn't something I would reccomend; I'd suggest taking a peek on about day 6, 12, and 18 before "lock down".

Thanks for those photos! I am learning so much pop. I've candled a few eggs that my silkie is sitting on a few nights ago, and I saw similar features. So exciting big_smile I even had a porous eggs which I toss because I needed too as there were too many eggs under my hen. I'm glad I did it!

keep sending us more! thumbsup

extremely cool. I have both chicken eggs and duck eggs in the incubator at 7 days at the moment and I have candled them last night and could seem similar development on at least half of them. I can't wait as I am incubating my first lot of duck eggs wee.

This is really neat, thanks for sharing.

I am taking pictures of them if they die during incubation, it's pretty neat.  I had two fully formed that died today which would be day 14.  My gruesome little girls thought it was neat, so they put them in alcohol so they can take them for show and tell.

Video!

The embryos are now large enough to see moving on video! By eye you can start to see kicking on day 5. Here's one from last night. Enjoy!
