So, I have 7 less eggs. My almost 2 year old dd is fascinated with the incubator. I was on the phone scheduling my npip testing last night and didn't notice her sneak in the incubator room for a few minutes and that was long enough for her to grab all of them from the front row and throw them on the floor.

Luckily I had it blocked off (because I know she likes the incubator and has done this before) so she couldn't get it all the way open and those were the only eggs she could get to.

Oh no! I totally get this! I haven't shown my 3 year old that the incubator is set up, and so far she hasn't taken notice of it. (It is in my bedroom.) I know she would mess with the dial or something, or steal the eggs. (She really likes the eggs from our chooks that I keep on the counter, and have caught her with them in her room.

The last time was about a week ago, and I really explained how rotton and stinky those eggs could get if left in her room... she hasn't done it again since. (I don't think anyway.

)

I candled, and all 10 of my silkie eggs had major veining down the whole length of the egg! NO, WAIT, that was in a DREAM that I had last night.

I had candled last night, and saw some veining in 4 of my silkie eggs, so of course I would dream about it. In my dream though, the silkie eggs were huge, almost as big as duck eggs! lol

Good Morning everyone.
[COLOR=800080]What's going on inside our Chicken eggs-Day 4:[/COLOR]

Torsion and flexion continue through the fourth day. The chick's entire body turns 90° and lies down with its left side on the yolk. The head and tail come close together so the embryo forms a "C" shape. The mouth, tongue, and nasal pits develop as parts of the digestive and respiratory systems. The heart continues to enlarge, even though it has not been enclosed within the body. It is seen beating if the egg is opened carefully. The other internal organs continue to develop. By the end of the fourth day of incubation, the embryo has all organs needed to sustain life after hatching, and most of the embryo's parts can be identified. The chick embryo cannot, however, be distinguished from that of mammals.

Fourth day -- beginning of tongue

Yay! They're getting so big already! I candled yesterday so I'll try to wait another day or two before doing it again, can't wait for the 1st!
