There are def some days when I want to bite lmao. I must've been a dog on a past life.
Look on the egg to chick thread for an updated Atropos picRubber band on the wrist, SNAP! Ouch, but I still want to candle
Whoohoo, hatching more chickies for you to come pick up! We'll hatch the extra most perfect silkie cockerel for your Atropos!
Day 6!Can you believe it?
We're on day six!
Please read this article
On development of chicks!
Day 6
Hours 120 to 144
The dark spot on the embryo is the eye, you can just make it out.
The beak has begun to form. The vitelline membrane continues to grow and is now surrounding more than half the yolk. Fissura (small clefts) form between the second and third fingers of the lower limbs, and between the first, second and third fingers of the upper limbs. The eye is much more prominent, as are the heart and brain. Voluntary movement begins; the embryo can now move at will.
) the risks on mid-winter, extremely cold weather, eggies!
I'm just wanting a confirmation on my assumption, if I can't see growth tomorrow, or even today for thay matter, they are clears and need removed? I know, but I have this huge worry that I'll be throwing out a good egg, even though I know if I can't see veins by now, there's no way they will magically hatch...Day 6!
Good morning eggies!! Grace and Zen, time to rise, shine and grow!!
I usually remove clears on day 7, day 8 at the latest. Depends on the egg color, on light eggs that are easy to see through, clears are so obvious, so day 7 on those. Mottled or darker eggs I give an extra day just in case I am possibly not seeing them well enough.
Question-
If my hens see their shadow today, does that mean 6 more weeks of no eggs?
