Anne, are you going to open the unpipped eggs? I did yesterday, in the middle of things, after I'd candled it. It hadn't developed very far at all, it was just a little meat spot. I guess I marked the wrong egg when I candled halfway because the one I marked hatched. Here are my babies...

Anne, I did that with the last egg. She'd pipped through the side of the egg, not in an end. Last night I told myself that if she was still good in the morning, I'd help her. There was a big difference this morning, obviously all the blood vessels had drained and she was ready to go except for...

I am proud to announce that I have two baby fuzzies and three pips. One egg is cold so I'm not expecting anything from it. I'm waiting on the remaining four. OMG this is too much fun.

Well Anne, I'll keep my fingers crossed for some good little rumpless babies for you! That would be fun. And very interesting about the tufted gene. I have a double frizzle and I wonder why he made it through hatching...is the frizzle gene not lethal like the tufted gene? I found a discarded...

I got ebay eggs this morning and let them settle all day, just put them under my broody girl right now. I put the best ones under her in the middle and a few "maybes" toward the back. We'll just have to wait and see what happens next! I'm planning on candling Friday or so. Wish me luck!
