I just candled. Results:
All Blue Easter Eggs show veining, on target air cell size, and some showed slight movement.
All Green EEs: WHO KNOWS? Can't see anything, mark air cells and move on.
Pale Brown (RIR) eggs: Good air cell development, and WHOA that was an eyeball or something. Yep, you can see a lot more in pale brown eggs than EE eggs. I saw lots and lots of swooshy wiggly lil chickens developing in there.
As I kept checking, I thought to myself "I kinda hope one is a quitter or clear or something so I learn what that even looks like!"
The bad news is - I had one that was clear. No veining, no development whatsoever.
The good news is - out of 38 total eggs, only one was most definitely not developing. The rest had at least some kind of veining visible. Heck even a couple of those darn green ones, I could kinda sorta see veining if I held the light at just the right angle off the edge of the air cell.
Eggtopsy results: scrambled. Seriously, when I cracked it open just all this yellow liquid came out, no delineation of yolk/albumen, just scrambled mess. I sloshed it around a bit, didn't even see anything. Maybe slight pinkish spots on the membrane, but that sucker was definitely a time bomb, glad I got it out of there. I don't know how it scrambled. The eggs were all from the same flock, all sat on the same counter in the same paper egg carton, getting turned the same way.
Oh well, it doesn't really matter HOW, only that I found it and that oh my word most of them are doing AMAZING!
