I'm so stoked... Checked the eggs in the bator this morning... there is definitely growth in Henrietta's 2 eggs (CM x BSL), then I still can't see squat in EE eggs, so I'll just wait them out.. BUT! I hatched two of Henrietta's eggs last year, one was this loverly guy (pic below, my one winged wonder) and he's in with my BCM pullet... Those are the 6 eggs I'm most anxious about, because it will be his test. I want so badly to see what he's producing with the BCM.

I candled last night & I sure do hope I can sale these chicks lol. (If not they'll just have to stay here lol, nobody leaves chickees in the corner 🤣🤣🤣) but out of 64 I took out 3 non developed ones, one blood ring & 1 rotten one. Even in the little giant incubator i thought I was having a hard time with. Thank you all for the tips to move the eggs around. I've just cheated & rotated the lid clockwise 2 or 3 times a day. Seems to have worked fairly well for the eggos.

That's kind of genius, lol! I wonder if you should still rotate the center eggs out occasionally?

They all seem to be along the same stage in development. I think next time I hatch in this one I'll leave a few spots empty like a sensible person lol. That way I can rotate in & out of the center. I really was going to get rid of this incubator. I just might keep it thanks to yall!
