This isnt my egg, its one i found online but mine is looking similar to this. The beak isnt way i to the air sac but im seeing something like this. Thats still ok right? Maybe a start?
That's awesome! I love silkies!!!
Holy cow I think it's starting to internally pip. Yes, I just HAD to check :/ (I know, bad Inga, bad!!)
It's really tiny, but that still counts right?!? Lol
I'm hoping to see some progress on the egg soon too!
I love homeschooling! My son is 13, and I love the flexibility! I'm not a morning person lol. My daughter is 2 and she does a little learning herself but mostly from following me around all day :D. I know, crazy age gap between them, haha...
