We haven't candled yet at all due to other chickies hatching! Some of Earnie's Marans...and some silkie babies....one sooo tiny it fits perfectly in a teaspoon~ I of course missed the entire hatch due to being in the hospital
We have one little maran rockin and rollin his egg around for several hours now and peeping his head off from that egg! BUT no pipping! Everyone else has hatched and dry and in the brooder...one little silkie egg in there with it may be a dud,since it is so quiet over there! it is the tineist little egg too I want it to hatch! but it doesnt look good.The other one is making a LOT of noise but not doing much...wasting a lot of precious energy rockin that egg back and forth!
