    I was too, I had hoped so much that we had saved them but I candled them on lock down day and they were as clear as the first day. So out of the 26 eggs left I currently have 4 babies and 5 piPS so far.

    I went on lock down on Monday and so far I have 3 pips as of this morning. The 11 found eggs never developed, but it was worth a try.
