Been a while since I updated haha. No more blood rings, I did toss a bunch that weren't developing. Cracked them all and they didn't look fertile, is there a way to tell for sure after incubating for a week? I had eight in total, a full third of my eggs, four from each group, which considering that 14 were from the same flock that gave me 100% fertility a month ago is a bit disappointing, though I did pick up the eggs at the end of a loooong heatwave so maybe not that surprising.
Womp Womp.
I did my day 14 weigh and air cell check last night, seems good, all the remaining eggs are ticking along well. Number 11 is still noticeably ahead of the pack, and tonight the air cell has drawn down a lot again so I'm just gonna have to candle regularly and put them all on lockdown as soon as I get full drawdown or an internal pip... Honestly looks like it could be real soon, I've raised the humidity a bit just in case.
My scale is so bad, it's does a thing where the reading seems stable and then changes again after a couple seconds so I have a bunch of initial weights that are suspect cause I'm not site I caught it all the time. Bleh, that's another thing to upgrade next time.
