Awesome Idea!! The Partridge could be "PeanutButter" and one could be "Oreo"!! The yellow and black ones are Spangled English Orpingtons..

I need two more names....

If you have a large one: Double Stuff
Also, Oatmeal, Raisin, Sprinkles, Icing, Caramel, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Brownie, Cupcake, etc. if you want to keep the dessert theme going.

It's a cute idea.

I like that dessert theme.

I'm naming all my Seramas fairy tale and Disney character names, but I match their names to their personalities and/or appearance, and it's hard to come up with exactly the right name for each one.

One is named Peter Pan because he likes to FLY! Bashful is very shy, Perdita (the mama dog in 101 Dalmations) is white with brown and black speckles, and so on and so on.

Can someone help me please? I am new to incubating eggs and just candled my first batch at 7 days, I've seen many candling photos on here and receiving mixed messages. Can someone tell me if my eggs are
good eggs or not please?

Looks good to me. Darker shelled eggs are difficult to see detail. You may want to try candling in the darkest room possible, so you can see more details. (I candle at night with all lights off.) You'll see the embryo with all the spidery veins attached. Under the flashlight, they often move. Look for any clear eggs or eggs that have a blood ring. Mark them with pencil & recandle again in 5-7 days to be sure they're bad.

Here's an example of a blood ring we had. We opened it on day 14 when we were positive it was dead.


Here's an example of a good egg around day 7.

One of the eggs did have a blood ring but yes I will re-candle in a week or so to make sure, thanks!
