Eggs look good! It looks like some of them are pointy end up.

We went over them 3 times.... some of them were SO football shaped it was hard to determine.

@ronott1 if I took another pic right now, would you give me a heads up on which ones look small side up?

Good Morning Hatchers!!!

I went back over the eggs last night and again this morning. They are all pointy side down.... there are only 2 I find questionable because they are SO elongated and football shaped.

The eggs are piling up and waiting for Monday! There have been more added to the pile since I took this picture this morning.

Sucky pic. I'll take a better one tomorrow. The eggs arrived cold, but not frozen cold. A very interesting mix in color, shape and size.

Looks like my hatch will be small compared to you guys. If I’m luck I will have 9 going in. Do you set the football shape eggs? I have one but didn’t know if you can set them.

I'm gonna. NO harm, no fowl! (see what I did there?!? )

I'm out of the hatch along... We got a severe storm last night and the power is still out. I did hug em in my singlet for several hours while I slept but it was too hot for me so we put them under a broody chicken but she'd been moved to a secure pen for the storm and she just stood over them.
All the best everyone!!!

I could but the best way to tell is to candle and find the air cell.

Good job! It is hard to tell with some eggs

I would not give up on them yet. Eggs will often be fine in the first part of incubation without heat.
