. Oh ok, so today is 2 days after last hatch, born Saturday. She has been teaching the little ones to eat and drink, there doing very well. I did candle 2 of the three eggs, she would not let me have the third lol there is movement it looks like in one, the other has a tiny crack in it, I hope it's a pip and not from mommy bird. There both dark inside, but the whole egg is not filled black, is it suposed to be completely black inside besides the air sack? This is my first time with eggs or hatching so a bit confused.

If day 2 then wait a couple more days, stony says up to day 25. if she hasn't removed them by then. I would say go ahead an take them.. If you want to know whats going on open and take a look it is a great learning experience. After day 25 that is.

Sunshine has six duck eggs and 5 mixed breed chicken eggs due 05/17, Noira has 12 mixed breed chicken eggs under her due 05/21

Noira is one day behind my girl Henrietta! She has 8 eggs under her. I know 3 of them re BSL (Black sex Link) but the rest are just from what the others gave her... (Mutts most likely)

Stony, do you have any eggs in the bator? If so when are yours due? Henriettas and the bator eggs are due on the same day! May 20th! Goodness, I am going to be a wreck!
