That's the link I used to do the test. I'm just wondering if the three that are floating super low but haven't completely sunk to the bottom of the bowl are still possibly viable.

I think its a possibility. Did you candle them?

I ask because I float tested 12 and nine float low in the water. 3 float almost submerged with just a little sticking out. None float high and none have sunk to the bottom of the bowl. Is there still hope?????

I'm not at all a fan of the float test. IMO, the only thing it's reliable for is to tell if the chick is alive, but only if the chick is kicking at the time. Even if the chick is very much alive, if it's not moving at the time, obviously there will be no waves. location of egg in the water is only an indicator of how much moisture the egg has lost.

Quote: Okay, "mostly" singers. I also had a heck of a time seeing the photo. I was on my phone, and Duckling was poking at it.
