I candled one of my question marked eggs, and it has veins!!! 3 day old embryo growing inside!!!!!! Even with all the poopoo scenarios. Hope there's more, and that they hatch!

Well, I candled the call eggs that I expected to hatch this weekend and saw movement in 7 of the 8, but they still look like they have a few days to go. I have already increased the humidity, so I guess this is turning into even more of an experiment.

Oh, and I went ghetto today and cobbled some chicken wire temporary barriers to give Bianca and Squirt (the older juvie pair) a little outside area where Jax can't get to them, but they have a pan of water to bathe in now. I rigged it next to my 9-week BCMs temporary run, and opened between them, since they all get along. At dark, half of the BCMs were roosted in the duck house, the other half in their own house.
