setting eggs on Thurs. Hatch date Feb 4th-who's with me??

ok just did what I didnt want to do but 4/6 FBCM eggs were clear as the first candeling...At 15 days old not one dark spot so I cracked them open and yup nothing:-( clear as a bell-I have 2 of them left-1 I think might have quit a few days ago because the last one looks like its further along-( good grief I hope I get 1 roo out of those-
the 2 Amaracauna eggs left are dark cannot see much which is a good sign:)
the 3 white silkie eggs have now turned to 2/3 Im afraid-but left the iffy one in until MOnday night when lockdown starts
my 4 splits lav silkies are going strong..
1/2 mystery eggs growing too.

still growing are 3/6 BO's
5/6 Wo's
and 5/6 jubilee O's

started at 37 down to 25:-( Not bad I hope they all make it to lockdown:) temps and humidty have been VERY stable which is awesome..I was not going to candle untill lockdown but got bored and though why not-Ive been so good so far:)
 
Hope they all make it Natalie! At least you have a chance of getting a girl and boy of each breed! I think I'm bored too! Maybe I will candle tonight
also.

My pen light died .. and I don't feel like pulling out my big makeshift candler ... so I'm going to wait until sunday evening .. candle as I pull them out of the turner and put them in cartons for lockdown ..

I know I have two clear .. the one with the detached air cell is still alive ..

I can't see much else because they are filling up so much of the egg...

A bit worried about the size of the air cell in the marans eggs.. so I raised the humidity a bit ..

I dunno .. I guess we'll know about the middle of next week ...

I 'll be happy with anything I get! (and prepare for the next hatch ...

post results--how long has it been since you candled?

Last I candled was the 21st. A couple I was unsure of. They should be looking pretty filled up now, so hoping thats what I see! Be back in a bit!

I even liked her seramas .. (shhhhhhh ... I dont' LIKE seramas)

I'm still holding tight on the "not interested in silkies, frizzles, drizzles, pizzles ..." ...
