Anyone want to share candling photos?

I don’t have candling photos as I already have chicks lol there was an external pip on an egg when I went to put them in lockdown and they all hatched out like popcorn popping! I think my hen had started incubating the eggs before the fox got her and had already been going a few days when I put them in the incubator!

I still have about a dozen or so that were put in the incubator after the hens eggs were out in there that should be going into lockdown shortly and lay hatch on Halloween lol I had no idea that hen had already started sitting on the eggs to hatch them at that point !

No candling pictures this year. I'm trying a more hands off approach and it seams to be working. All the fertile OEGB and Dutch eggs I got through eBay hatched.

This is a nice chart of embryo development!

 

[muddy75]

Any early hatchers?

 

[NagemTX]

All the OEGB and Dutch have hatched plus the Spitzhauben.

Silkies won't be be done for another two weeks.
