ok so I candled my 7 surprise eggs and compared them to the candling pics in the learning center here and I think my eggs are a couple days farther along than I thought. I think my eggs are on day 12 now. changing my original estimated hatch date from july 6th to july 4th. guess I will lockdown those eggs on the 1st and see what happens. this hatch is so much more stressful than any of the eggs I started myself.
