I can't wait to candle! I plan to do so on Thursday evening and check for development. This should be about Day 4 and I can hopefully discern growth easily. I'll candle the eggs from my coop on Friday.

It does you good to take a break, makes the next hatch all the more fun.

True. As you know this last hatch ended up kinda bad so part of the reason I’m taking a break but can’t wait until spring when I can hatch again.
