Need hatching buddy! Setting 5 duck and 5 hen eggs Sat 1/16

What's everyone else's hatch doing?

I candled again
I am sure of 12 eggs! 3 of those are my Buff rock eggs woooooo hoooo.
All 12 have veins and detected movement of the embryo(?) inside.
Unfortunately, 2 eggs have what I think is a blood ring so I just moved those 2 away from the others and I will candle them again tomorrow to see if i see anything else. I dont feel confident enough to remove those 2 but I think they didn't make it

we will see!!

Well, I candled my ee 6 eggs (LG) and I saw air sacs. Am hoping to candle the BCM eggs in the Suro later tonight. Saw a thread about candling dark eggs with a slide projector-may need to see if my folks still have one. I'll celebrate if air sacs are visible, no bad odors (none as yet) and the faintest of mov'ts in the eggs

Sending good, healthy hatch vibes to all (if I can)!!!

Those dancing embryos are kind of mesmerizing ............kind of like a lava lamp




am I dating myself?

I candled some BCM eggs late last night. Didn't see beyond air sacs but felt subtle movements in eggs and was happy about that.

Will inquire about a projector- want to know if that makes a big difference.

BCM is Black Copper Marans, I think.

Hey all, I candled again last night and got movement. It was the neatest thing. I talked about it all day at work. The one that was moving I believe was a B.O.
I am sooo excited that I got this far, I must be doing a little something right! LOL
