4 Chicks Down, All Done! Mystery Hatch-A-Long! Hatch Date 9/3/21 and today apparently

I'm honestly most curious to see if the NNxMFD eggs still have a boof and naked neck, or if the NN gene is dominant over the boof gene.

Today is day 1 of lockdown! 3 days to go. I had to figure out a way to keep the other 6 eggs turning and the older egg still, so I put the egg in a silicone bowl between the slots for the eggs and it doesn't turn. The bowl moves with the turning plate but the egg doesn't roll.

All 4 Standard eggs are developing!!! Strong veins in all. Little too early to see what's going on in the bantam eggs.

Interesting; when I candled the standards, they all looked farther along than day 1. I'm assuming, based on pics of developing embryos, that they're at least on day 3. I'll ask my source if she stole them from a broody.

Never mind, I'm just stupid I started them 3 days ago, but the days have melded together in my brain

Egg #1 still shadowing, still has unabsorbed veins. Maybe it'll internally pip by tonight

There will be veins even when it pips externally

Time to bake a cake for yourself while you wait!
