[redinator]

Are you incubating a double yolker?? Can you link me to that thread, I’m interested in following that!!

It's in my signature but here's where the double yolker starts: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...dy-and-everything-thereafter.1672919/page-169

Hello Food Eggies! Waffles, stop playing with the toaster please!

 

[GreenJay]

I never waffle . . .if I'm hatching I'm telling everybody how nutballs I am . It makes me feel like I'm not as crazy if other people are interested in following along.

Lol thats basically what tipped the balance, I was so bursting excited I needed someone to share it with!

And those of us that don't get to play the incubation game are thrilled when y'all do hatch-alongs, it's very exciting even as a spectator! Thank you!

First full candling is in!!
We have 2 questions and 1 infertile. #1 was either infertile or a very early quiter, nothing but yolk in there! I removed it. Noooo.. Pancakes!!!
@GreenJay feel free to pick another unarmed one.
# 23 has a but of a dark ring around what im guessing is the air sack, another one did as well but not as dark so I forgot to mark it. Ibcouldnt get it to photograph well so i cant show you lol. Is that a bad sign?
#20 has a very light speckled patch around the air cell, like maybe it's too concentrated or the shell is too thin there? I'm not really sure what i was seeing.
I had one more i forgot to mark down that must have had some shell problems because is is speckled with thin bright patches, but it looked to be growing ok.

#1 sad, no growth. Goodbye Pancakes.

The speckled shell one (its all over, but worst at the end)

#20 with the thin shall (?) At the airsack
And finally....

The best picture I could get of one of the healthy ones, you can see the veins and embryo and eye! It even fluttered!!!

I love when I see them moving. It leaves no doubt there's a chick kickin up a storm.

Yes, that is definitely the best part!
I'm a bit nervous about the 2 with a dark ring around the airsack, but it was very thin and didnt really look like a blood ring... I think.
