Yes, it is an eye. Mine have eyes too. One of mine even moved when I candled it. Does yours?

I just hatched out 5 chicks. One copper maran and 4 olive ethers. One died shortly after but the others are doing great! Tomorrow I am hopping to hatch out another 5 or 6! I also have two peafowl eggs in my incubator right now!

So cute! How are peafowl to hatch? Harder than chickens?

So far so good... they are 28 days so longer time and they don't fit in the turner so I've been hand turning them which is no big deal. This is my first time so I'll keep you updated!

Doubly in now. Just put 8 crested cream legbar eggs, 3 chocolate Orpington eggs, and 5 silkie eggs in with my Guinea fowl. As I added them at 1 week I think they both have the same hatch date, right? (Guineas hatch in 28 days, yes?) Guinea eggs look good. 10 are clearly veining.
