I totally agree with Miss Puffles. I would rather be slightly overweight and very well fed than skinny and hungry.

I agree with Miss Puffles too, and have to mention that my chocolate lab ate 2 and a 1/2 dozen cupcakes last Saturday off of the kitchen table. They weren't chocolate, but he didn't care, ate the papers and all....
uh... is Miss Puffles a chicken? cat? mother in law??

That's what I remember. I don't know if SuperRx is doing an egg swap but I'm hosting the monthly egg swaps and we will be swapping to set eggs for then.

Don't feel stupid... If you candle at this point and you can see through the ENTIRE egg, it's "bad." It should be mostly full with a dark object that you can't see through. You'll be able to see through the top of the egg very well, that's the air sack for the chick.

They should look this this when you candle:

See the dark part? That's the chick. The light part is the air cell.

You're welcome. I should have taken pictures of my duds, but it was hard enough to hold the egg, flashlight and phone to take the picture... next time.

I like this point in the hatch... it's super easy to tell the good eggs from the bad.

Hehehh... That's a GOOD thing!

Locking mine down early later tonight but already candled. Didn't see any obvious clunkers so 25 eggs going into lockdown!
