I got MFC 20 eggs from on the spot and hatched out 16 chickies!!
They just popped themselves out.
Patty's eggs are known for being great! These babies have really sweet personalities and are SOOO soft.
I was being sent some eggs that were suspected as being double yolkers. 2 were huge eggs. Sadly thanks to the postal service most of the eggs were broken. The one huge egg that was intact never did anything so I tossed it. One other standard size egg started developing and assumed it was a singleton. A brief candle in situ at day 7 indicated it was viable. I went to lock it down in the brooder incubator last night and saw it was pipped. This morning BOTH ends are pipped. Can't wait to get home from work and take some piccies and document any progress.
