Candled all the eggs tonight after a full day of resting, aside from a few porous eggs and a few slightly saddled all are in good shape and I have 7 internal pips, so chop chop littles your brothers and sisters are waiting for their turn. Thank you @ColtHandorf

I’m so glad they look good and made it. Pray to Tudy that you get a bunch of babies. You’ll have to drive up if these don’t do well.

There still good don't worry about the eggs being upside down.

Here's my disabled rooster/surrogate hen showing his babies to dust bath. Took the picture today. He's been a good mom to them.

All 18 aircells were intact. Several were jiggly, but all had aircells and dark yolks, which usually lead to some amount of development at the very least with my eggs

I’m not too worried. I candled them all last night and decided to let sit for awhile longer, just in case…

Did the air cells look okay?

I've got my clean faced araucana (the two legged one, not One Leg) brooding a bunch of mutt eggs right now. They're roughly the same age as these ones. If she stays brooding (she should, she's terrifying for a pullet broody), I might swap hers out for yours at hatch. That way they grow with an araucana parent.

Not too sure yet, trying to not count my chicks before they've developed, much less hatch.

I'm not sure I'd trust a broody with shipped eggs. I barely trust them with home-grown eggs, but to each their own, I suppose.

No, I meant as they hatch trying to graft them to her and taking her home brewed eggs away to brood myself since they likely won't be staying permanently

If they had much better aircells, then I'd be more willing, but I'm going to keep them where I can assist if needed (fingers crossed I won't though)
