Thank you. I'm searching for a better flashlight and not having luck...and, I'm resolved to just let it be until at least tomorrow evening either way. There was for certain movement when I floated it so there is 100% a chick in there. I'm hoping she just pips and zips. Time will tell!
Well, float tests are for both actually. When you're checking an egg to see if it's good to eat you can float in ice cold water...when you're checking for movement in a chick egg from the incubator you float in 100 degree water to see if it has a viable air sac and if there is movement in the...
I did it quickly and immediately dried the egg!!! I hope it's ok!!! I saw at least a dozen 'dark egg' videos that said to float it and see if it moves on its own..dang it...
I'm also going to scour our house for a stronger flashlight now that I know for sure she's alive in there. Maybe I can get a glimpse inside ... fingers crossed!
Ok, so I posted yesterday about a low pipper who successfully hatched (phew). So 2 down and 1 to go...I have just the 3rd egg left in the incubator. We are at Day 21 almost to the hour, heading into the beginning of Day 22.
The last egg is very thick. I haven't been able to successfully candle...
