This is interesting reading. The fact page that is in a link in the article is just as fascinating to me.

This was great!!!! The BEST candling fact sheet with pics. Another one I clicked in the article:

Of course the second one pertains to hatchability of big hatcheries. But we can get a lot of info on what and why to do things.

I literally just saw this on Facebook. Did you post there too?! Are we in the same groups?!

I did my egg topsy this morning. The yolk was all scrambled. Looks like it quit around day 5, or before. Poor little thing.

So I'm down to 10 going into lockdown tomorrow. Think it's too late to turn on the humidifier in the laundry room?

Haha, probably are in the same groups. I just can't help saving these pictures. They are so funny and TRUE!!!!! I didn't post it there though.

This chick is a weirdo. No other way to describe it. Goofy high stepping walk and other odd characteristics. But it's pretty "laid back" as you can see. My kid insisted that she lay the chick on my lap and it just chilled for awhile. SMH! Our 1 Isbar.

Got me some Welsummer chicks and couple pullets today. Got a dozen "unfertile" eggs to so I could see the eggs that the chicks hatched from. I'm still tempted to put some of them in the bator.

Color is darker in person

Seven chicks. 4pullets 3 cocks

3 moths old I think they said

Nice looking chicks! where'd you get them from? I'd sure put those eggs in a bator at least long enough to candle & see if they're fertile or not. I'm working on getting some more
Wellies myself - still my favorite breed but I have no roo for my hens - all of them are breeder not hatchery - Grisham lines.

I'm on day 8 and did a quick candle this morning. Left the eggs in the try and candled from the top and sides. Had to take the one cracked egg that came from coastline out, was starting to smell.
Pam, one of the Legbar definitely has life in it. One had a blood ring. The one with the rolling air cell never started. I did see veins in the Bielefelders but was very hard to tell what was going on them. I didn't get a count of how many of yours and coastlines were developing.

Like the pics ^

Great news!!! I had a hard time candeling the biele's and the Legbars till right before lock down. Looking back the ones that looked like a dark mass were the ones that hatched. Happy to here you could see life in them. Pam
