Setting eggs May Day 5/1 want to join me?

Well, I just re=candled my 2 guinea eggs since I had seen nothing on Monday and I saw movement in one of them for sure and pretty sure I saw movement in the 2nd one.....I know I should not have opened the bator, but the temp had spike for some reason, so I figured it was a good way to get the temp down and candle the guinea eggs....I didnt look at any of the chicken eggs, will wait till tomorrow night for that.....

SO EXCITED about the guinea eggs, just put them in the bator to see if they were fertile as the in-laws didn't know if they had males, guess they do

Either they have males or a miracle has occurred!

Well with a little wishful thinking I am down to around 15 eggs

- I think shipping was a little hard on this batch. Wish my cochin eggs would get here...

My candler arrived today. I was planning on waiting until Sunday, but couldnt help myself, LOL! Of the 4 remaining "barnyard mix", 3 were moving and 1 was too dark to see any movement but has obvious blood vessels, so I'm gonna call him okay.

Of the 6 Americuanas, 5 jumped at the light (at least, it looked that way to me) and 1 that was too dark to see more than the blood vessels.

All in all- not too bad (knocks on wood), considering I've been SURE that I somehow killed them, several times, over the last 11 days!

Seconding that! What are they? They look a bit like stitch counters used for knitting and crocheting. If so- nifty! I've got a while bunch!!!
