I candled all 15 eggs last night. Diffently seen veins in all but 3 maybe. Those three have masses in them. Air cell seems intact. The egg color I'm hoping is what's preventing me from seeing the veins. I have two blueish green eggs that the lady told me were from Araucanas. One is so dark I can see the mass but not veins the other I seen veins diffently in and this morning candled again and OMGosh there was MOVEMENT! How great is that. Can't wait for my girls to get up and see that. What a cool experience for them. According to my calculations our hatch should be around the 16th - 17th of this month.

Congrats! Is is exciting, isn't it? Remember, candle only the minimum amount. In my first hatch, I did this too much and had a poor hatch rate. While too much candling wasn't the only reason, it was a factor.
 
How eggciting! Good luck with your hatching, keep us updated

The first time you see movement is amazing. And the second time, and the third time, and the fourth. What am I talking about. I still get excited when I candle.
