So much fun, my daughter just turned 5 and is super excited to see the eggs hatch. Mine are CL eggs. So I have no clue what breeds they are just barnyard mixes :)

Well I added another 18 eggs 12 hours after the first eggs were placed in the incubator. I candled (just couldn't wait :) ) today and this is what I have so far. I see a yolk but that's about it.
