And then there were 10. I just candled and I am down to 10 eggs. One is still a ? and the other has Dancing baby written on it but no movemement for two nights in a row. But 8 have dancing babies for sure

Right now I have 3 Welsummer, 3 Black Copper Marans and 4 Amercauna. I had one Maran egg that didnt have movement for 3 days so I drew the line and tossed it. I did crack it open first and it looks like it stoped developing a long time ago.

Anyone elses eggs starting to feel....Lighter? Day 13 for me.

I don't know how to explain it unless its all in my mind, but the weight of an egg fells different this late in incubation. It's as if you can actually feel the live weight compared to the egg weight. Probably just me... Lol

What you just said most perfect sense. I could not have described it better!​

I only have three left - any lighter and I'd be flying!

just like me to misunderstand what you meant, Artathart, but Mike I'm right with you...yes the eggs do feel a little heavier than when I first put them in the bator...too bad I didn't use a scale on them...

One of my eggs cell looks really weird...doesn't look anything like a normal egg cell.

It's U shaped and I'm so mad that my camera isn't picking it up...there's movement but that egg cell looks like trouble to me...
