Congratulations and have a safe pregnancy!
I did not count the number of marks! Good point on that.
Anyone else, when they see this picture, think "some non-chicken person did this because if they knew anything about chickens, there would only be 21 slash marks inside that eggshell"?
It is so very cute though.

Sally says to go enter the Jelly Bean Contest, the cutest baby fowl contest and the Most Striking Domestic Male fowl contest. Do not forget the Celebrity lookalike contest, Natural egg photo contest
Gardeningmama announced the Friday mini contest. No details still so keep watching the main thread! I am sure most of us will miss it though….
Whoops and others are being driven batty with the seemingly long wait for the eggs to hatch. It is hard to remember that a lot of things are going on inside the egg when we can’t see them happening!
Polishsilkie81 is heartbroken because the chicks do not look evenly developed. Wonders why.
Luvmypets might still have one hatch! Later announced that none hatched but hopes for the end of April hatch to be better
Kiomey did not have them all die! Sees a pip!
Quailtrail tried to share the eggs rolling in the bator excitement with DH but he went back to snoring!
Nonyah Biz posted a very pretty egg picture in post 10592

Reyvaughn missed 1500 posts. Great Granfdather died
LooseyGoosey had an egg that had been dropped and looked like it had bacteria—hatch a chick!
MontanaDolphin is off to rescue more chicks. Posted a picture of one with a leg issue Post 10681. BroosterSpringsteen thinks it is tricky to treat slipped tendon. The chick did not make it.

Psst... I'm only on lockdown not hatching yet. In fact I think mine may be a day late.
Plenty of time to take some photos for the contest. Poultry are natural photo bombers!
