Ok, Lockdown for me tonight. I just candled my 5 eggs, and I saw movement in each egg! That's good... BUT...
I had posted a while ago about 1 egg that we all determined might possibly be a double yolk because there is a "unused" portion of the egg that appeared sludgy. (I have it down as egg #1) Anyways, THAT egg actually looked pretty good today. However, I have a different egg (#7) with some growth issues. Really?! GRR.
This one looks like it has since acquired an unused side of the egg. MAYBE I didn't write my notes well enough & MAYBE this is actually the same egg as the last report, and not a different one. I'm going to think that this is the case. I must have mixed the eggs up in my notes.
Anyways, here's the "Day 18 Lockdown" picture of that egg. I guess we'll see what hatches if it hatches. It will be a learning experience for us all either way.
lockdown pic -Actually egg "#7" is around the corner in this picture, but I will be sure to monitor it closely. All the rest of the eggs show large dark areas with a small portion of clear & veining between the dark & the air sack. As they should!
Here is the egg with issues...
Another shot of the same egg from a different angle. There is movement in this egg!!
Maah- this looks good to me! And just remember that sometimes it's the angle of the light- or that's what I have found. Try not to worry too much- btw I've got the rolaid chews out- I will be worrying over your hatch as much as my own

Keep up the hope!! It has a better chance at hatching w/ just an extra yolk in there rather than a whole other chick. Let's go chicky, you can make it!
As soon as the chick gets done hatching, I'm going to have to clean out the incubator since I'm getting more eggs tomorrow. What does everyone who has a Brinsea Mini Advance recommend cleaning with? Just dish soap and warm water? And do you clean the turning disc? Sorry for all the questions!

I just use warm soapy water- the top I just wipe out with a warm wet sponge, dry w/ paper towel. the bottom & turning disc you can use the soapy water, rinse then dry w/ paper towel. it's so easy to clean! If I were you I'd let that chick rest for an hour or so before removing...
