Hatch-a-long Countdown!!!

[PoultryGirly]

There is a week (7 days) left! When I candled the eggs all have movement, but several have a few black spots in them but the embryo still seems to be moving. Maybe they're thick parts of the vain or something? There are only 4 days until lockdown! WooHoo!

Yeah, they probably are, I'm sure they will be fine!!

Congrats nettifer! I candled my eggs just now and all have movement but 3 eggs look like they have bacteria in them maybe? There are big black splotches in the eggs. I'll post a picture in a few.

I'm curious to know what the pictures look like. One of my green eggs has splotches and I can't tell if its bad or ok. Inside the egg there's movement.. but like a pulsing (like a heart beat). I hope its ok.

I have another question.. my colleague also hatching ducklings hasn't misted at all. 2 of her eggs today looked strange today. It looked like something was there but there's no liquid and it looks like whatever was in it dried up and became clumpy. Is it dead?

(On the pictures look at the bottom of the egg nearest to the light.)

I hope they're okay because there's still movement! And JSelvaggi, I hope your eggs are okay! And your colleague's egg may be dead. Is there any movement?
