That isn't to bad Mortie are you sure there isn't anymore or are are all those that are left gonners? Just had somebody request me to hatch out 60 olive eggers

I'll leave them in another day or so but I'm not holding too much hope out for them to hatch.

Then a little later my 6 year old was watching a show in which the main characters were consulting a BABY CHICK on something and it was cheeping at them so I was pretty sure that is what I had heard. I was all bummed and was about to go do something else when for SURE I heard cheeping coming from the incubator. I called my kids in and they heard it too. So...someone has pipped internally. It's so crazy to hear cheeping coming from eggs that could have been breakfast only a few weeks ago...

You can order the Black Giants through Meyer Hatchery ( https://www.meyerhatchery.com/produ...D=JBGS&grd_prodone_filter=PRODUCT_ID = 'JBGS' ) or through Cackle Hatchery ( http://www.cacklehatchery.com/jerseybgiant.html ) Here are the links right to the bird.

Have you ever float tested Mortie?

 

[mortie]

No, I haven't.

my 2 are on day 20 and no wobbling but I can see a lot of movement inside the egg

Ok time for day 16 pics I am amazed at the difference in development. I candled from both top and bottom at the same so you can get a better idea of development.


I think this egg may be just a bit behind on development but the candling sure did show details I also got a video of it moving but you tube has not wanted to cooperate with me uploading videos.


Now to me this next one looks like a day18 egg (next 3 pics.)









and this one maybe a day 16

Also wanted to show everyone a few of the shipped eggs I have that are developing against all odds
This egg has a dent in it I sealed it with pink nail polish two eggs near it were smashed I saw the embryo swimming in it tonight.


can you see the veining

this one has a bad aircell that rolls but still is developing


And this one has a blood ring

Everything looks great! I've sealed one with nailpolish that has made it to lockdown tomorrow, and two more in group 2 that are developing normally. I think I banged the eggs myself. Doesn't seem to bother them!
