Yeah, sorry about that.. Unfortunately, the ONLY camera I have is my phone and it's really bad when it comes to night time pictures.. it gets really fuzzy.. I really need a digital!!!
Oh.. And, here are the pics of the 3 with blood rings.. The first two, i am positive.. But, the third one, I'm not quite sure.. It almost looks like the blood ring was "smeared"??? Guess i will find out on wednesday when I candle them again... Alex is so looking forward to that!
Pic #1
Pic #2
Pic #3, I know it's hard to see.. this is the one that looks like someone "smeared it" from bottom to top.. Strange!
Terri!!!! You got a blood ring!, Im sorry...I candled tonight also...and Im trying to up load pics off honeys phone. We didnt take the camera over next door to the shop, didnt think I would see anything...
and lo and behold...VEINS popping here and there, and tiny bodies moving...one egg I kept saying..."is that two?"...so we arent sure on that one...let me load pics...and post here.
Here's one:
Egg in Question, is this two?
LOOK CLOSELY, I SEE "TWO" SPOTS" ON THE BOTTOM PICTURE, AND BOTH WERE MOVING...SO...????
...so what do you all think...maybe? I kept looking at it, then honey also came in and we turned it slowly...and then BOOM...two what appeared to be the eye area...plain as day...then honey said maybe its the feet we are seeing and thats why we see two....
I said no, I know a face when i see it...that has to be a face...look!! We are heading to bed but I had to post this real quick....
Its late now, tomm...Im gonna try with the camera...now to remember which egg it was....
Ok... Here is the latest update... I am keeping good track of what is going on with the GB and eggs so I am just going to paste what I typed in last night from there...
*******************************
Today was not a very good day at all! I got another light bulb hoping it would be a little bit cooler than the one I had in there and as I was taking it out, I dropped it on the eggs. Two of the eggs cracked but luckily one was a hairline crack and the other had a bloodring already. The bulb I got actually turned out to be much hotter than the other but when I went to change it back out, it rolled and fell onto the floor, shattering. The temp dropped to 94 degrees while I ran to walmart to get another bulb. I now have a backup also! On another note, we cracked open 3 of the eggs with bloodrings in them. One looked to be a 4 day old embryo while the other two were either 6 or 7 days old. There is still one more that we think we see a blood ring but will keep an eye on it. We also saw a lot of movement in the other eggs and there were two where the embryos looks much older than 8 days old. Perhaps this is because of the temp fluctuations. Unsure!

Ok.. So this is what happened yesterday... Needless to say, I was freaking out... As for the temp dropping in the bator, I did use the hairdryer before i left the house to keep the temp up a bit longer and I was gone less than an hour so i don't think it hurt anything... We do see a bunch of embryos swimming around but as I said in my report last night, there are two that are MUCH bigger and just bouncing around in there... VERY active...
This morning was not much better although it had nothing to do with the bator or eggs.. The people who moved out of the house next to us had a cat that they abandoned when they left.. We moved in several months later and in that time she had a new batch of kittens under the house.. Well,the mama was very friendly and would come up to us and love up on us and we made sure she had food for her and the babies.. The babies however, were not social at all. They stayed far away from us for a long time... Over a few months time, the mama and two of the three kittens disappeared and the last kitten started coming over to our house and she would sit under the shed and act as an angel watching over the chickens.. It took us several weeks but she was finally getting to a point where she would come up to us and let us pet her... I woke up this morning and took the dogs out like I do every morning and didn't see her under the shed like I normally do.. I figured she was out romping around looking for field mice or whatever.. Didn't really think anything of it.. Went in the house and about 2 hours later took the dogs out again and saw something in the pool that looked odd... I was HORRIFIED!!! Needless to say, I had to bury her...
I was so glad that my son is back in school now because in the summer, he would take the dogs out and would have seen this!
Terri, I leave you for alittle bit, and look at the mess you get into....
hey check this out!!!!
this was last night...I candled and I couldnt take a picture...flash was making the egg look like its in light and when flash off, couldnt see a thing, but I could record...how strange....
