Colored Egg June Adopt-An-Egg Hatch Along!

[Iluveggers]

my baby is alive! I told you she just wasn't ready yet

Sooo hard to see her, but the edge had movement and veining next to the dark area! So definitely alive!

So we are at day 10! I took candling pics, but I am sad because I think 3 eggs quit on me, including 2 of the legbars (the ones I really wanted).
Here are the candling pics. Tell me what you think. The Olive Eggers are still impossible to see growth in a pic, so trust me that I can see movement in person. Can you see the 3 I think are quitters? If you all see the same thing I do, when should I remove them? After I finished I realized I did not take a pic of F8, but it was still alive as far as I can tell.

EE 1 & 2

OE 1,2,3

Orpington 2 & 1

Farm 3, 5, (forgot pic of 8), 9, 10 & 12

Sorry about the quitters...

And damn I don't even have luck with other people's shipped eggs. Lol

I saw you had one of them and I felt bad for you on top of feeling bad for me…lol.

Here’s hoping the last 15 stay strong!

I hope your last 15 stay strong. It is ok no need to feel sorry for me.

Candled the 15 eggs again tonight (May do this nightly until lockdown, just to keep an eye out).

All still moving and veins!

Also, I found another thread on here that showed how to measure expected weigh loss each day if you aim for 15% on day 21. You make a graph from 1-21 (for days) on the bottom (X axis), and weight loss % on the side 1-15 (y axis). I put a point at 21,15, and drew a diagonal line from 0,0 (origin) to that point. So on any given day, you can weigh the viable eggs, add the weights, calculate the percentage weight loss using the original weights of the viable eggs, and plot the point to see how close it is to the line (where it is “supposed” to be.) If anyone is still with me, look at my graph! Weight loss is spot on!


This is great if you take weights on a day “other” than 7 & 14 which I would look for about 5% & 10%.

OH Good idea! I will be needing this soon!
