OH heck yeah!! White eggs ROCK when it comes to candling! hahhaa I know what you mean about them being almost too large for the cups on the turners, and I agree with ya that they're great eggs to incubate & hatch.
I have some Cochins that I've been slowly working on for a couple of years and they lay a bit bigger eggs than the average Cochin egg. I can't put them on the outside egg turner racks or they'll tumble when it's at max angle, too. Next year, I'm going to re-make the IceCreamBar chickens that I'd done a couple of years back. Those were the hatching-est eggs I've ever seen! It seemed like the chicks would pip, unzip & practically leap out of the eggs clean as whistles in less than 15 - 20 minutes - literally! Peeping their little heads off till they got some GroGel to wet their whistles, then they'd sleep. I hope the next ones are just like them. HA!!

if this small hatch goes along the well established time line of eggs from these two hens it is possible they’ll internally pip tomorrow. Different roo though so who knows 
I am totally in love with the coloring on this chick, it's the same barnyard mix I posted last week. Quail eggs are shipping Tuesday!!! 
I'm so nervous about having another disaster.
Love her!!! I think I'm going to call the bantam in my avatar Saucy.
She's so fiesty. Hope you make lots of progess on your coop/run!
