Thanks PC. The ones that are clear show nothing at all. The silkies and the cross show dark with lots of veins. Then there is the buttercup/silkie which is wiggling all over the place in there. I candled them all at the same time. Well, one at a time, but all in a row. Oh you know what I mean!!

Wiggling is a GREAT sign.

The clear ones are losses but leave them in. They help regulate temp and ya never know.

They won't explode like I read in the bator directions??

No explosions. The ones that explode are partially developed. The clear ones
you see are infertile, probably due to shipping, cold, or Xrays.

Day 19 Update!
One is cheeping loudly! And I just noticed a wiggling egg. It is the serama/silkie/modern game mix!

Buttercup Silkie cross sounds interesting

Can you picture silkie feathers with that big cup comb and huge wattles?

Okay, the first egg is still rocking and has a second piece being lifted off, still no actual hole. A second egg has a hole that appears to be covered with membrane. I'm keeping my hands out. I wonder if I will sleep at all tonight. Still only hearing the one chick. The other egg isn't moving but this hole is new since I left for church at 6:45.
