Quote: your kidding!! awwww the little mite! how many of the early deads had bad air cells, I hate shipping to CA from all the way over here! I swear the Air Travel does them in! and you had like day old eggs when I sent them! makes no sense! :(
 
UPDATE and making NOTES: because I am fretting, yes fretting  ughhhhhhh  

I peaked at the silky eggs, and I see some pushing up movement from the lowest part in the air cell of two eggs! Not interally pipped but def pushing up on it!  very odd how I dont really see major draw down on them, usually with eggs you see the back go up and push up on the back part of the air cell, not the front first. :/  These are not chickens perhaps they do most of that  draw down after pipping, perhaps this is why they drown so easily, just sharing thoughts, ignore me lol.  
 
Anyways, I put them into the lockdown cooler and said NO stop panicking its only day 20 WATCH them, so I put them back in the cabinet Good grief need a cam on me at the bators lol.  I havent fretted for months over any eggs!  I will check again at 2pm.  
 
I averaged out the most recent eggs and average on all weights that vary from 48-67 average is 56 grams.  I quickly weighed the ones that are pushing up and they are both around 45 so if going by average they only lost 11% HOWEVER I do think these two are smaller eggs sooooooo I think they lost more than that. goal on the next batch is in another post 14-15%.  Smaller eggs also explain why these two have pushing up in the air cell already and seem a tad further along, and shows how quickly I can see changes in the last few days! 
 
OMG I am fretting I dont want to kill them!!!  I am so excited and worried and thats soooo bad when you incubate! :duc   sit on hands sit on hands, I got this I got it I GOT IT!!!!  oh God what if I do not! ughhhh :barnie   I have to go read the process right NOW! 


Breathe Sally. You are doing great. These babies well hatch great and be awesome. Just watch them.
 
I need a DOULA! Emotional support, or else a stiff drink! Why am I getting so panicky over these! good Grief I am not sure of my abilities on these, I feel like I am taking a exam!!!!

They are drawing down its day 20 lines are day 7 & 14 and just now air cell line, ps the images make it appear larger than air cell is for some reason!
Three are like this now and one other is starting to move down fast!

ps air cells appear larger in the images than they really are, probably because the other end of the egg is hidden or at angle.


Not gonna lock down yet! I see alot of fluid in them! ughhhh
