Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

it's getting cuter!

2 have hatched this morning for 3 total and I hear lots of tapping so I know at least 1 more of the potential 6 eggs is well in the process, could be more, she will not yield. I got no view of what's under there.

That's interesting! I also read that over time, in unfertillized eggs, the blastoderm degrades, will spread out and change its shape. It can resemble a fertile egg. If that was a newer egg, then

. It sure looks fertile to me!

It was 1-2 days old. Pretty fresh.
