that's what showgirls are

well, I have 9 out, 3 pips and 7 waiting

I have one right now that is pipped on the bottom. I left it for now, I just think they get turned around sometimes.
The air cell is on the big end, an internal pip is into the air cell but not the external egg shell

None of my eggs have done anything...My rooster is in the pen with a white hen ( not sure what she is) a buff orpington, a barred rock, 2 ameracaunas, a grey jungle fowl...outta be a neat combo...not real sure what the heck i'd get...
