Sorry..I incorrectly posted what I was thinking. You are correct. The air cell grows no matter if it is fertile or not. The heat removes moisture from the egg.

oh okay... well i'm still hoping for the best, the yolk is very dark and takes up half the egg. I think my flashlight might just be too weak to see anything else.

It might be a good idea for you to set up a "conjugal visit" between Toulouse and your pullet (Nori?). That way you can get a few more eggs and see if they develop.

Well I did hear some good news yesterday, we were given a counter offer on the house we want, so if we take it we should get the house!

Hooray, that is good news! And I hope the dark yolks mean something is developing you just can't see with your flashlight. I tried candling my eggs and I was able to see some veining (6 days) and a dark dot but the rest were dark yolks. I tried some fresh ones and they were so light I could barely see the yolks. So... dark yolks might mean OK!

That's exciting!

Hope they made a good counter offer and you guys will have a house!

I'm hoping so too, but my aunt(who is my agent) said their contingencies were unclear so she is still waiting for more info so she can talk to us.

They countered $101,000 with 3.5% back, and so we countered $92,000 with 3.5% back.
