candled on day ten and it was kicking and moving so well like the rest of them. i have 9 in lockdown out of 18 so for first incubation i think that is good for shipped eggs, plus one of my eggs from the hens outside has piped

Thats an awesome number for shipped eggs!! I think the best I had with shipped eggs was 14 out of 15 developed, 8 hatched (with assistance), 3 died after external pip and the rest died before external pip.. I've never had a number like that again! Zoomummzy was amazed I had such a great development rate!

i'm hoping they all hatch soon, not counting them till they do
