April 2022 hatch-a-long (non-Easter, and Easter welcome)

[MGG]

I'll join! I don't think my eggs were set late enough for the Easter hatch along. Mine should hatch on April tenth, they're pigeon eggs.

I candled again a couple nights ago...I think it was day 14ish...? Anyway, I got rid of the FBCM egg that showed clear from the first candling, and I had one Marans egg that had quit. So I am left with 4 FBCM eggs and 16 Cream Legbar eggs from my own flock.
The color on this pic is off a bit, I promise those eggs are blue and blue/green, lol.

I’m setting eggs April 19th with my students! Wont hatch til May, but I’ll follow for advice & ideas until I set!

If I have any that don't hatch I will open them, and post pics.

Sorry If I confused anyone, I was NOT asking if my egg was a double or not. And I have been hatching more than 20 years...so.

Got 16 in the incubators going...dieing to go ahead and candle in it day 6 instead of waiting til tomorrow but I really should wait right?! They were shipped from Alabama to Tennessee...

Day 6. Candled and didn't see anything. Could see the yolk some looked darker overall than others. One looked like I could see the tiniest dark spot that moved around when I moved the egg but didn't notice any veining. Not sure if it runs low since new thermometer has been around the 98 since I put it in. The govee has an average of 99 since this morning. Idk would that delay it that much that on day 6 I wouldn't see anything?

I'd try cnadling again on day 10 n see.

Ok I split the difference!
I didnt candle last night day 6,
But I did this morning day 7 rather than waiting til tonight!
Out of 16...
2 looked to be either unfertilr or too old
7 look perfect shaping up very well!
7 showed signs of veining but not as developed as the other 7...so will keep an eye on them and in the separate incubator.
I could tell the air cells of the worst ones did not look too badly at all. Of course those are in the 7 that aren't forming as well. But 1 in that group is a perfect one!
Time will tell!

Thank you. I am going to do a couple on Thurs and then all on Sat day 10 and get rid of them at that point if nothing.
