Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

When I turn upright in a carton the embryo sometimes is in the middle under the air cell! it has veining so it could be ok yet!
That makes total sense to me because I had wondered why several of my eggs had embryos right up at the top against the air cell...duh... gravity. I had an embryo disappear and then reappear seemed like after I had turned it or "leaned" it rather.

. I hope its still ok it is one of the white silkies. All of my tannish eggs look great but I have two white that aren't doing anything just yet.
 
Ok, here is my final project. I aced it, but I'm not happy with it. I put myself into a situation in which I had to rush. I was only able to spend 1 hour on each egg.

When I have more time this summer, I would like to do a day by day progression.

Here's the set up. Sorry about the bad pictures (I'm not a photographer, haha)




These are 5 day intervals so day 0, day 5, day 10, day 15, and day 20.
Oh, wow!!!

Im lazy a lot. My three car garage doesnt have any cars in it because of all my junk. I need to clean it out but everytime I look at it. I just move a few things around so I have a path.
I moved one year ago. My stuff is still in the other house, 2 miles away. There is just always so many other things to do when my DH is home from truck driving.

When I need something from the other house, he tells me to buy it new.
Sumi, Hope your impending move goes well!!
TY on the chicks, they are sultan mutts-

have no clue how that one weirdo chick got its color, but I love him anyway! My first assist
I swear it is an assist thing. My assist (that lived) is all yellow. The others are almost all black and about 3/4 black.
I just caught that the box says, "Chicken 3-pack"

You sound like me- is that a Temporary move?.....LOL 2 years later I ended up back in mine, a few months after I finally got it all cleaned out- weird, but true-

I think you are right on this, it explains the weirdo chick- when he busted free of the shell, finally, at 5am, I was so tired that I swear I thought he was just extra wet or maybe a little blood stained, but..........nope, just a weirdo

I was watching the musst while they teach themselves to forage, and I noticed several things that I hadn't seen before, maybe because now they are in the sun

The splash mutts have a beige color on them, some more than others- they look dirty, but will not show up in the pics, but also the weirdo Sassafrass has tan feather shafts- and green iridescent on the tail feathers

Also, he is mean as HAIL !!!!!!! He was running back and forth jumping at the others and pecking them.....Sally, get the yardstick, whip him in line...........

I got tired of messing with the ducks. They are free in the chicken yard. I tried the goose yard but the geese were to mean. They seem to be pretty happy. They haven't left the pool in almost 3 hours. They got out a couple times but went right back in.
