hey ya'll,
this is one of the eggs i posted about last night. there are three of them that seem to be a lot more developed than the others. notably, there is a big air sac at one end - my other eggs don't have that at this time.
i apologize for the quality of the photo. i did my best but the light issues are, obviously, tricky.

thanks!

p.s.
i know the chick is viable as i could see it moving!

Edit: OH!, I see it, what day are you on?
I have some pictures of what the development looks
like inside the eggs at each day of incubation, and by those
pictures I think you could figure out what day its on, maybe?


If you would like me to send you the pictures just e-mail me.

i haven't hatched since oct so forgive me but i'd say 10-14 days since it is not solid dark. u can still see the embryo floating. most of the developement and dark space that the chick fills in and ocupies is in the last week of incubation.

this is day 10 - so that is totally within range of the estimates.

yes, i saw movement for sure. unless it's a zombie chick it's alive!

if u look close at the pics ya see movement. what looks like the head towards the top is moved over to the left a little in the bottom pic. wow! that was a good guess since i haven't hatched since oct, i figured i would be a little rusty on that one.
