You must be on that line from Indiana through Kentucky and Tennessee, down into Alabama and Florida. The front just went over us and we're getting the back side of it now. Loads of high winds and rain. Hope you're area stays stable and you don't have trouble with your electricity.

I am now down to 10 Eggs

I started with 26 yesterday I was down to 16 and tonight I had 6 move with either no movement or no growth. 3 were in fact empty. two were blood rings and one was infertile. The other 3 were quiters. When I broke them open two you could tell had stopped growing a long time ago and were stuck to the fat end of the egg where the air sac was. The last one I am not sure about. It was twice the size of the other two but was not living and was also stuck to the top of the egg. Had really huge eyes.

And then there were 10. Of my 10 there was babies dancing in all but 2.

that stinks...I'm sorry to hear that

........i think i'm only down to 2 good babies out of my remaining 3....yes, i can finally see what all of you mean by dancing babies...until now, all i could detect were the flashlight flickers but tonight I actually got to see the movement...

However...as in life, some bitter with the sweet....one of the eggs has the weirdest egg cell....it looks U-Shaped...anyone ever see that?? you could see the veining, the movement....but the black glob goes looks like the letter U - you see how in the letter U you have all that space at the curve...that's what it looks like...what does that mean??
