Cool stuff!
 
EGGS ARE HERE!!! 3 of them have broken air cells, but all the rest are in tact. 2 of them have little black dots floating in them though. I wonder if one of your hens was sitting on them? I am going to mark thoes ones and see what happens with them. Wish me luck! I'll candle on day 5 and let you know! Thanks so much! JEN

Jen,

I'm so sorry about the broken air cells. As far as the black dots...I really don't know what that might be as I pull the eggs every evening. None of the girls are broody. Do let me hear from you when you candle.
 
I also have 2 Eggs that had black dots in them since Day 1. I marked them and watching them patiently. Tonight is Day 7 so I will see. 4 out of 8 are developing for sure! I am really crossing my fingers for these cuties!

Do you think you both are seeing a blood spot or meat spot? I have 4 hens laying. I just gathered the four eggs tonight & candled them to see if I might see something. Nothing shows up.

Please let me know if these eggs are developing. It's certainly a mystery to me. I never candle before setting eggs. I wait until day 7. The hatch I had on March 30th all candled fertile on day 7 but I don't know if any of them had black spots. Out of the 18 eggs I set, 15 hatched & the other 3 quit somewhere before hatch date.

Let me know.....
 
The dark sopts could be a blood spot or a meat spot. Its so hard to tell with the darker shell eggs. I am very excited about them though. I am glad that they did not show up with all broken air cells. I have bad luck with shipped eggs. So I am hopeful! They are going in my incubator now. I let them rest over night. JEN
