OH...and I just candled the 1st 7 (6 are day 5, 1 tan on day 4). 4 are tan eggs so I didn't expect to see much. The 3 white ones were as follows:

1st-Good veining, large orangish mass, small darker mass
2nd-No visible veining, large orangish mass with slight shadow on 1 side
3rd-Large orangish mass, small darker mass, seemed to be a bit of movement

2 of these eggs went into the fridge for 1 & 2 days each before I decided to try to hatch them, so this could account for the slightly staggered results.

I love candeling! I have all tan eggs so we shall see, we have a mag-lite that we use to candle and have always been lucky. My very 1st hatch was a 100% my second didnt go so well and now this is the first one in three years, I'm hoping for some babies since they're my fav birds!
