Btw, it's day 8.
One of the eggs is forming a air bubble at the thick end. Sign of growth?
The other egg might be doing the same, but it's browner, and harder to see through when you candle. Might be infertile?
I'm glad I helped you! Just know that you have to use a new and reliable heating pad that won't scorch the eggs. And in general, use the lowest setting.
Day 2
I might just be imagining it, but I swear I see veins in one of the eggs!!!
And I'm going to give both the eggs to a hen right before they hatch. As it is, none of my hens will brood on them now. Not a broody breed, I guess. Makes me want a Silkie!
DAY 1
I have the two eggs in the heating pad. They're warm, but not too warm. They have wet paper towels wrapped around them, to keep the humidity. Temp is on low.
I've tried candling, but of course I can't see a thing. One egg looks like it has lots of pores, so I'm a bit worried about...
It really is possible! Check out these links!
