Day 6 and looking great. Ignore the line. It's not a blood line it's marker. Growing big and veins are webbing the yolk.

Do they look like they are doing as they should? This is our first time

I cannot tell from the photo's but if you see webbing then yes, great job!!! only 15 more days to go... your almost 1/3 of the way there... (It always seems the first week and the last 4 days are the longest!!!

I use an LED light and put it on the fat end (where the air cell is).... I get the best view that way

Ty. I'll try again in a few days. I don't want to disturb my bossy little Beatrix. These little eggs are for my kiddos. Great learning experience! I wanted to check them before I candled them for the kids. I didn't want to show them a dud. I'll try to post better pics this weekend.

Thank you for your help =)

Aww this is our first year with chickens. We love them. They are very addictive! We started out with 6 and somehow ended up with 17! We want to get some easter eggers next spring. I love the pretty eggs. My 6 year old gets excited to see our one little bantam Easter egger lay her pretty baby blue egg. With our 3 little ones and my 2 nieces and my nephew these 2 little eggs already have lots of love to jurisprudence them thriving
