When you say "dipped", do you mean one side is much lower than the other? All of mine usually turn out that way. No problemYou guys have a nice thread going here. Just to chime in, I paid over $40 for a half dozen silkie eggs, shipped from several states away! I don't know what I was thinking using shipped eggs for my first go! I'm a nervous wreck about the air cells (Amy, you've given great advice) mine look very dipped on one side. Anyway, I'm chatting with my landlord down the road at the mailboxes and I tell him about my new incubator & the eggs and he tells me he has fertile eggs, all kinds of breeds, including silkies & I can have eggs whenever I want for FREE! I didn't even know he had chickens on his property! He also offered me fertile peacock eggs!So now I'm kicking myself for spending all this money. At least I see 3 little babies in the eggs. Tomorrow is day 7, the rest look clear (like the pics posted above) but I'll wait at least till day 10!
