Well I think I'm done for this hatch a long... My wrong end pipper didn't make it.. I had 3 remaining eggs that I didn't have a good feeling about so I candled them while I took the malpositioned chick out... All 3 had receded faint veins so I suspected dead 2 of them were mini paints with...

Day 19 I have some pips on the Miniature Paints :D I might add some of these eggs were so beaten by the postal system that they had saddle shaped eggs running from the fat end right down to the pointy egg on one side so excited they're pipping I put these upright in cut down egg cartons for...

I believe multiple there were multiple issues involved... I started with 24 eggs 1 started oozing and I removed that egg very early on it exploded after I threw it... removed all of the early quitters and clears at day 14... 10 in total so then I was left with 13 that made it to lockdown.... I...
