EMOJI HATCH ALONG 5/18 incubation

[LaFleche]

Aww I’m really sad that the two splash eggers were quitters but maybe that means there was something wrong with the fertilization. I was really excited for the splash ones though.

Sorry about the quitters!

Something I learned about the quitters though:

All the viable eggs upon lockdown were not moving freely in the egg. They moved of their own accord but it was not like a bubble in a level just free floating and the veins I had once saw collapsed and were no longer secured. The viable eggs had nice vein structure attached to the underside of the membrane from the air cell. So now I know better what to look for in the future.

Furthermore,

Upon inspecting the quitter eggs- none of them seem to have developed past day 7. So I must have just had too much hope for them.

Go emoji chicks!
Come on and !

Day 19!!!
I set up the camera on the eggs so I can hopefully see the first pip!!
My daughter said they will wiggle a lot before first pip. So I’m also looking for wiggling.
