I would except it is full of pansy eggs.Looks like you got 5 celadon eggs??? I would recommend considering hatching them separately from the rest in the smaller incubator and then marking the chicks so you know which have Celedon gene
I forgot the staggered hatch thing.....I was thinking lockdown rest in Hova and celadon in GM.......I would except it is full of pansy eggs.
I do plan on watching the hatch entirely so I will know which ones they are, I'm gonna put itty bitty bands on their ankles.
Yeah, after the eggs rested overnight I put the pansy in my GM, while I waited on the Hova to arrive. The Hova had a huge crack down one side of it when it got here, but I used some Redneck Ingenuity and fixed it up. Got it temp regulated and put the other 59 eggs in there this morning. I hope to have a decent hatch out, but since it'll be my 1st in the Hova I won't get my hopes up too much.
You might consider putting your celadon eggs in a little basket/cage or a mesh bag(s) or similar in case you’re not able to watch constantly.I would except it is full of pansy eggs.

Genius idea! I'll do that somehow. Might make a little box/enclosure out of 1/4" hardware cloth, if that would work?
The research that I read indicates that 27°F is the temperature that will kill the embryo.
When I have more varieties of eggs that need to be separated for the hatch than I have hatching trays, I divide the hatching trays up with hardware cloth. I do know that some use a plastic version of hardware cloth while other use plastic baskets or the mesh bags.
I wouldn't have to worry about separating them until lockdown, so I have time to figure out what to use. What mesh bags do you mean?
Like the mesh laundry bags they sell for separating delicates in the wash. I suppose you could use something like the bags that onions are sold in.
