I did a eggtopsy, to check for signs of life.

You cracked open a growing egg? I think I'm a little confused...

No
On day 25 of incubation i checked to see if anything was still alive. Thats how i saw the colours of the dead chicks.

Looks like it might be a silver partridge! Either way I wouldn't use it to continue on with the project!
