I will!!! I have 8 eggs going into lockdown. I'll post candling pics and report on movement. I spot checked last night, and one had a big clear space on the small end that I've never seen before in any egg I've hatched before... But I saw the chick moving inside and some definite veining, so I do have hope. *fingers crossed*

Interested in your results, all mine have the clear spot with veining but they all are moving around inside..

should be okay maybe last to hatch though. I would not help an egg that had clear on bottom

I remember you had said that. I'll mark the egg tonight and keep track of what happens. I'll keep you posted!

I don't plan to help... I tell myself not to, but if they are able to externally pip or zip, I can't resist if the chick is still alive.

nice thing about pip-zip- is they can breathe- and they don't need to eat or drink a couple days.

I know. I'm talking about the ones who don't progress for 12+ hours and may be stuck in the shell/dried out for whatever reason.

My rooster took a couple steps out and went back in with the others. They are so cold. Poor babies. Eventually they came out to eat but won't go back in to get warm.
