Hey guys!

For my art final, I'm doing a series of drawings of embryonic development on blown out goose eggs. I plan to draw embryos at 0 days, 5 days, 10 days, 15 days, and 20 days. Here's my first one, it's of a 15 day old embryo. I understand that it may not be accurate, so please critique the embryo if you can. I tried to make the fluff look more wet, but it didn't work out.



15 day old embryo with yolk sac drawn onto a blown goose egg.

This is beautiful and so creative! Well done!

nice to catch up and see sally rambling.

you do it so well mrs sunshine

if i order on ebay, i look to see how often the seller ships the same order - it helps indicate how many layers he has laying. If a polish egg seller is putting out 2 orders of 12 a week, its a better bet than the guy selling 4 a week.

True story!!

Todays' summary 4/25/13 ~ ( last night thru current )

kaybee123 shared lovely pics of her new hatchlings with us as well and her first egg from a new layer. as well as her garden (also doug seems to have a little garden envy of the pics posted lol ) also kaybee is asking for guesses on sex and type of chicken - pictures on page 1355

hillflowerranch shared candling pictures with us- they are growing along just well from the looks of things and were very neat to see !!
sally explained that the eggs only grow in the bator like that but she does not suggest trying it !!! (also she is building a new cookerbator as well but it doesn't exist until we see pics lol just like the chicks) and sally received a new batch of eggs today and has cochins pipping

Hatching this week are Polish, Houdans, Swedish Flowers, Spitz, Favs and Basques - a Eclectic European batch.

On the weekend I am setting Sussex. I have Silver, Coronation, Speckled and Light Sussex.

I hope i can get some interest going in chicks originating the South of England.

I love Sussex. One of the most perfect dual purpose birds out there.
