Minni Egg Hatch

[Violetsfeathers]

So, Dec 1, I found a very tiny bantam egg on the floor of the chicken coop. I blew it out and there was no yolk in it.

(Left to right) store egg, mini egg, bantam egg.

Four days ago I found another mini egg outside, on the ice. The temperature was above freezing so IF it had a yolk, and IF it was fertilized, and IF it hadn't froze it would hatch into an extremely tiny chick. So I stuck it under my broody hen along with the fake eggs she was sitting on. (We ordered chicks for her, they should be here in about a month)
Also I candled it and it didn't look like it had a yolk but I stuck it under her anyway.

So TODAY I candled it and it looked like there was a dark blob floating on the top side of the egg! Hoping it will hatch. Will keep you updated best I can.

Please, no negative comments.

Day 5!
I read up on candling eggs and the dark blob I saw was a yolk floating around in there. I can't see any veins yet because it is a dark brown egg. It is hard not to candle it every day I will try to wait until day 10 to candle it again. Right now it looks like this egg:

Not my pic I found it on google, ignore the arrow. I can't take pics of it because I use my phone light to candle it.

Now that I can actually see the chick developing (it helps that the eggs aren't as dark) I am getting excited, I call it Chick Fever. I haven't even told mom I put the eggs under her yet... I should probably do that.

Thank you
The four eggs under marshmallow are doing fine, nothing unusual, marshmallow has perked up, I think she knows they will hatch soon.
I am having a couple freinds over the day they're supposed to hatch, we're having a chick party

There is no chick but there IS a pip!

It's the smallest egg, Mille Fluer Buff Brahma cross. I peeled away the piped part and I can see a little beak chirping at me!
