Happy Day 4!! I am happy to report that all 6 silkie eggs look good, all 3 barnyard mix eggs are developing (super proud of my flock), and I could swear that I saw at least a tiny bit of something in all of the marans...but I can't be sure and I may be crazy. You'll have to bear with me. Some of these babies already have visible cardiac activity.

What do we think? I also penciled the air cells (the ones that I could see) to monitor their growth. I may candle the marans again tomorrow, and will do all of them again on day 7.
