Wouldn't it be interesting if they turn out not to be chicken eggs?

I just told the wife jokenly what if they were alligator eggs or something

Oh man, imagine that. Lol. That'd be quite the surprise.

Chicks are due tomorrow. I had an external pip as of this morning. The other three responded when I tapped on the egg. Hoping they all make it and wondering what I will get (full Marans or did the Cochin manage to work his way in).

My one chick is out and it's the quietest chick ever. Not a cheep, even when I pick it up. It makes me wonder if it's deaf or something.

I had a chick like that. It started peeping normally after a day or two.

I candled my turkeys today. I don't know why I said 11 before. I have 10 turkey eggs. Anyway, I saw 6 definite little turkey embryos swimming around. 4 look to be very early quitters or clears, but I'll leave them in for a bit longer. Some of the air cells are wonky, so I will be keeping an extra close eye at hatching.
