Overheated eggs!

[BatonRougeChick]

Well I kept 1 egg from the first group that I overheated to 110 degrees because I wasn't sure if it was developing. Good thing I did, because I can now see a moving chick inside!! So that's a 25% development rate (4 days till hatch) from my 4 overheated eggs. Then I put 4 more in 2 days later with my store bought incubator, and 100% are developing. 6 days till hatch on those. I hope I end up with 5 babies!!
