The black one below has yellow tips and yellow under belly.

One egg is still in air cell.
They are barnyard mixes. Mystery tan eggs.

I missed so much! Notifications stopped for some reason. Love seeing the adorable littles hatching out!

Can't wait for the ducklings to arrive. I put them in lockdown yesterday for Sunday's hatch and am counting the days. The shipped eggs seem to be running behind as I can still see veins and room for growth, but they're still moving. One seems further behind than the others, but 7 of the 8 look pretty good.

The duckling that had internally pipped has now externally pipped. I used my phone light to look at them and it even wiggled

While I wait for my shipped eggs, and my eggs, above, (day 12)
I really liked my dark eggs blue CM, so I am setting those, and some tan eggs from a NN, The dad is a NN/frizzle with blue feathers. I had a hen sit on the below eggs 2 days waiting an incubator to open up. (they will go in a diff incubator after a day,)

My last four chicks that hatched were in incubator, dry hatched until lockdown. I think I will put some water in incubator with the shipped eggs because they will need a bit more.
