All few from my grow out pen.

I just bought 3 more 4 month old pullets today (1 black, and 2 blues) from the Hupps Farm line to go with my other Australorps from Kurt of Rattlesnake Ridge. I will have more eggs to do a nice spring hatch later, too.

I will try to do my first candling tonight after dark, to see if the eggs in the incubator are showing any signs yet.

 

[BlueBaby]

Wow! I see a couple in there that remind me of Thanksgiving!

Okay, so 4/5 eggs look viable so far... one might be turning into a blood ring. We'll see how it's doing in a few days. 3 have very good development, and I *swear* I saw at least one moving in there at day 8. (am I nuts for seeing movement this early?)

 

[BullChick]

Nope.

Are you nuts? Probably. Should you be able to see movement at day 8? Yup.

Ok, I did the candling on them, but I couldn't tell anything yet. This is my day 3 now, and the eggs are sort of a light creamy tan color. I will wait until my day 7 and try to do it again.

So, what's up? A Holiday Hatch A Long! How fun.

Yep, even on day 5 with cream eggs, you should see some little veins starting. But, yeah, waiting until day 7 is a good thing.
