If you've set them on Tuesday 11th August, by tomorrow (the 7th day) you can candle the eggs and know if they are a yolker, a quitter or a developing egg. Egg turning is very essential and should be done minimum 3 times a day. The temperature and humidity play a huge part too.

Excellent in-depth article! Should be made a sticky in the Incubation & Hatching Eggs Forum!

Oh okay thanks! :) While waiting I found the Colour calculator but since I don't know German it was difficult for me to get it. And on google search found this pdf explaining Genetics of Plumage Color in Poultry. Will give it a go.
