INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

Around 85. And I now have 2 chicks

Eh,
The gene pool could use a little bleach
IMO

2 crops, 4 feet, 3 legs and 2 vent. Freak of nature?

I think you'll eventually get those if you hatch enough. I hatched one with 3 legs a year or so ago. The middle leg had 5 or 6 toes. I saved it for the vet school. They weren't interested. Apparently they've seen it before.

Nothing. It was purposely bred to have two sets of everything. Takes years to make them breed true...very small gene pool

not in a long time...maybe I'll try it again some day. But not to the scale of the pros that come here to Bay De Noc....they are way out of my league.

I did a few bass tournaments back in the 80s.

Hi - the eggs don't smell. The eggs were between 1 day and 1 week old when I put them under mom. I can't confirm movement. A couple of times I think I see it, but could just be me.

Here are some pictures. The first two pics are of my day 7 incubated cream legbar egg (pastel blue), the second two pics are of my 7 day incubated easter egger egg (pastel green), and the fifth pic is of an unincubated cream legbar egg just for comparison. Hard to tell in the pic because the camera adjusts for the light, but the unincubated egg is very light and see through compared with the blobs in the other eggs. Still no visible vessels.

Or a drain plug

I was getting ready to go clean the duckpen out. Today is the coldest day of the week. Sunday will be about 50*.
I think I'll wait!

OK, not caught up, but I can't wait to post.

Day 7! Super excited - there's development in 15/16 of the Cream Legbar eggs (one clear)!!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! When I left them on the light, several moved around (I got a little video!) And Dumbledore crowed his encouragement to them throughout the process. I got some baby pics (I'm using that Brinsea candler , which is great, but the gap in the eyepiece made it hard to get a super clear photo, resolution-wise). I weighed them all, but it became clear that while all/most are losing weight, my scale does not have a good enough resolution. I need to get one like Sally notes in Hatching 101, I guess.

Three were more dark (but vessels still clearly seen on the edge) - but those three were all from my girl that has the most saturated blue-green eggs, color-wise.

Question - do these air cells look a little big to you? Or are they ok? (My eyes are inexperienced.) I went back and looked at all the pics and links in Hatching 101, but I'm still unsure. (BTW, @Sally Sunshine - the last of the candling example links appears to have now broken/died...). Humidity was 45% for the first three days, then reduced to 40 per advice for blue-green eggs (but actually running more 41-42%). And, like I said, the weights are going down compared to when they went it, but resolution of the weights isn't so great...

Oh, and @chicken hawk 33 , I don't have a tremor, but I do get migraines that can affect my fine motor control (and recovering from one now), and I'm with you - I didn't mark the air cells either. Tried one, it was hopeless, just photographed the rest.






















Clear one:


I wish they had turned out clearer - I didn't want fuss around too much and keep them out too long. Sorry for the photo overload - I'm so excited!

I have my first broody of the year!!! "Queenie" my Crevecoeur bantam just went broody for the first time!

they look like clears and your seeing the yolk move perhaps?

Clears at CANDLE are not always infertile!​

this is what they should look like
