I candled at 8 days and saw several live embryos. I candled again at around 15 and saw large dark shadow and large egg sac but no movement. I know I am being really paranoid but these are the offspring of my 6 lovely and gentle Delawares that were lost in a horrible coop fire three and 1/2 weeks ago; these eggs are from their last day.
I had a problem getting the temps back up after I took them off the turner day 18--didn't realize how much heat that motor was kicking. So for about a day they were a degree or two low...Is there a possibility they "Slow down" in their development as some on this forum have suggested? Or do I have a really icky spectacle in there that I may want to dispose of quickly?
I was also wondering: since my Dellie pullets were such late bloomers--so much so that I got a surprise rooster--(hence the current fertility issue) could that mean they are also slower to develop in utero? Wacky, I know, but I'm grasping at straws here.
Thanks,
Jen
