For various reasons,  I was born in Khartoum (I am a brit BTW),  so my mom had no toys for me
to play with and they gave me ostritch eggs to roll around!!!!   they had the contents removed
and were wrapped inside some kind of leather straps.   I think my mom still has them stashed
somewhere..... I should ask her to bring them over when she comes for christmas...  Can't
wait to show her my chickies...

Is it normal that The part where the duckling is is darker than the air- sack, just by looking at it? Because I can see That most of the egg is darker than the rest.

Ok a update.... 2other chicks hatched so i helped the other one. But Sadly she didnt make it.She was dead. But it wasnt the one that pipped wrong end.That one is doing okay thou it looks like it tore a vein cause there is alot of blood. i only made the hole a little bigger so it can breath.i was to scared to do anything else.Fingers crossed s/he will be out by morning.So thats 3 babies 1 still trying and 1 doa.That leaves me with 3eggs that hasnt done anything.

Yes thats normal. Are you seeing any movement?

I can't tell, I know that it has gotten way darker than it was this morning. I'm seeing this without candling, just makein sure you knew!

OK day 9; got a better light and candled everyone. I'm still pretty new at this so don't toss things unless I am really sure they are dead;

EE's (shipped) started with 12. Pulled 5 tonight for definite blood rings, leaving 7. Of those two or three I can't see into well enough to see what's going on; much thicker shells. And at least three jumping for joy ;-)

Marans (shipped) started with 13, most of these I can't see anything at all; pulled two tho, they have slighter lighter shells than the others and I could see definite blood rings. Leaves 11 with at least one jumping around in there.

bantyX LF Buff Orpington, (mine) Have 7 of these and they are all jumping for joy ;-)
