Or the misses won't be too happy with me... Lol

I hear ya. Yesterday we bought chicken feed at one store and eggs at the other. My hubs grumbled a little bit.

We've gone fairly cheap, free rooster, repurposed materials... Still we've probably got $130 invested so far... Makes that egg kinda pricey!! Lol

Not sure yet. I was thinking I might candle this evening though, but it's only day 4 according to my hatch-a-batch. I may wait a few more days (tomorrow or the next day). I probably won't be able to hold out tonight though, so we'll see.

The eggs are small enough that there should be some sign of life, a darkening of the yolk area or light veins.

Some look like there's life, some look clear. Leaving all of them in though we'll check again in a few days.

Oh I can't wait! you should know by the time these eggs of mine hatch! I still appear to have 13 Ameraucana eggs going strong. I lost one choc and an unlabeled one was clear. I still have a mystery color one that is labeled with a question mark. I need to get a contraption set up to separate the choc splits from the lav splits for when they hatch.

I also have 8 Biele eggs that seem to be going well, woot woot!
