1st Time Incubating

They have fluffy butts.  I'd let the seller know.  The girls may need to have a spa day.  After incubation, with the eggs sitting in the bator for 21 days, it would be impossible to tell if they were fertile or not.  I expect that the blastoderm would have disintegrated by then.  If they had started to develop, there would be at least a bit of blood if you opened them.  They could have been fertile but still failed to develop.  I don't understand:  You took the Jub Orp eggs out of the bator, and put them in the fridge?  Why?

I took them out because there was no sign of any development when I candled them. I put them in the frdge after that because I didn't know what to do with them while I consulted with you all to figure out whether or not to contact the seller. This is my first experience with all of this so I want to be sure to follow proper chicken owneer etiquette ... if they want to see them, I wanted to have them available for them.

BTw. The first Pip appeared this afternoon. My wife could hear a bird and thought one may be in the attic. Turns out she was hearing a chick through a tiny hole. This is day 19 so that was quite unexpected. I hope its okay because it has been pretty still and quiet in there for a while since then.
