Guess what?! One of the roos crowed yesterday! Wasn't bad for a 4 month olds first crow. Oh and the drakes are getting their sex feathers.

I love hearing the little guys go through puberty! What are sex feathers?

It was actually a very decent crow, might have been better than Isidore's first few crows.

And the kits came out for the first time

I agree, something is strange. What's puzzling is at the last candling it looked doubled and it's grown since. Maybe it was twins that died. I'll check with her to see if she saw signs of life. I'm afraid I'll drop the eggs and her eyes are better than mine.

Oh and BTW, thanks @mixedUPturk
I used your multi-colored candle marking idea and really like it. Easier for me to see the air sac development and easier to see which eggs were already candled. And it's prettier!

Just stick it in the hatcher, if it doesn't hatch then it's not going to. If it were live twins, they'd be filling up the egg. If it was one live twin, you should see a solid dark mass under the air cell and clear fluid underneath with a dark blob. Dead ones look like this, they begin decomposition and spread out, leaching blood to stain the contents.

I'm thinking that's what happened!

Check out this lockdown candle photo. My wife thinks it's a twin. At the second candle it looked possibly like two embryos.
