Candled tonight and pulled 2 of my 3 marans eggs. Compared to the one that is actually developing, the other 2 weren't doing squat. I don't feel remorse pulling them. All the others seem to be doing well though and I'm super excited I'm placing bets that "H10" will be the first to pip/hatch. That's a home grown cross of Dark Cornish and Speckled Sussex. She's got one of the smallest eggs in there and the development of the egg seems to be at least a couple days ahead of the rest. Most are developing in tune, with 2-3 eggs that seem to be a smidge behind. Since we had guests tonight when I candled, I got to share some of the excitement of looking in an egg with one of my guests! Seeing them move is still one of the coolest things ever! 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! I hope you all had a chance to spend the day how you pleased  

I finally convinced one friend to come and see a candled egg. She was completely amazed and had no idea how awesome looking into a developing egg could be!

Didn't count how many eggs I had movement in tonight, but there was movement in the 2 eggs I hadn't seen any in on day 10.

I should probably get the brooder set up... Never had more than 5 in it before. At least I shouldn't have to worry about finding a companion for a lonely chick
